Publisher Synopsis
"This edition of Anna Jameson's Shakespeare's Heroines fills an important gap in available resources of this significant writer in an intelligent, well-informed manner. Adept as a researcher, a literary critic, and a writer, Professor Larsen Hoeckley brings to the task at hand an admirable ability to make connections where others before have failed to see them. Broadview Press deserves commendation for putting an important literary 'foremother' back in the public eye with the publication of Shakespeare's Heroines, now properly situated in its historical and critical context." Carol Hanbery MacKay, University of Texas at Austin Read more...
