This volume brings together nine essays on King Lear by distinguished scholars, all of which were first published in Shakespeare Survey, the leading journal devoted to Shakespeare studies. A retrospective survey of criticism from 1934 to the present is followed by studies of the play's style and discussion of its background, meaning and theatrical presentation. The volume is illustrated with photographs of post-war productions.

Aspects of Hamlet brings together authoritative articles by distinguished Shakespeare scholars. In making their selection from the entire range of Shakespeare Survey volumes, Kenneth Muir and Stanley Wells have borne the interests of the general reader in mind, as well as the needs of teachers and students. The plates, chosen from the Royal Shakespeare Company's files at the Shakespeare Centre, Stratford-upon-Avon, illustrate post-war productions of the play.
