This New Casebook offers a collection of the liveliest and most innovative contemporary criticism on Shakespeare's "Romances": Pericles, Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale, and The Tempest. The essays gathered in this volume exemplify the current diversity in critical practice and cover a broad range of topics, including gender, religious politics, nationalism, topography, colonialism, and "medico-moral" discourse. Alison Thorne's detailed introduction locates the "Romances" in their generic, critical, and historical contexts.
