Not really. For one thing, as in several previous posthumous volumes, John Haffenden's careful editing and footnoting judiciously counterbalance Empson's giddier flights. And when that is done, we are left with writing that again and again startles and refreshes. Empson worked at not being boring. His claim that he rewrote everything he printed about twelve times is a reminder of how carefully he crafted his apparent casualness." Publisher's noteThis collection of William Empsons essays on drama is the second volume of his writings on Renaissance literature. Edited by leading Empson scholar John Haffenden, the contents range from essays on The Spanish Tragedy, Volpone and The Duchess of Malfi to a sprightly piece on Elizabethan spirits. In addition, there are several hitherto unpublished essays, including a magnificent, provocative new reading of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Throughout the volume Empson fights his own critical corner with unequaled zest, intelligence and insight.
