This dazzling study of Shakespeare amplifies the First Folio's injuction: read him. Here is not the usual thematic, contextual or reinvented Shakespeare. Instead, Simon Palfrey analyses language with Empsonian rigou, employing a microscopic precision to reveal a teeming semantic life within the smallest conceit.
