An introduction to cultural materialism and how it can be used to read Shakespeare's works
Christopher Marlow is Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Lincoln, UK.
The strength of this book lies in its clarity - a clarity born of
understanding rather than simplification. Marlow “gets” cultural
materialism. Add to that the intelligence and generosity of his
approach and you have a book exemplary of its kind.
