Shakespeare Relocated
In Shakespeare Relocated, Hugh Macrae Richmond uses his previously published essays to illustrate the development of modern attitudes towards religion, politics, and sexuality.

Shakespeare's Tragedies Reviewed
Shakespeare's Tragedies Reviewed explores how the recognition of spectator interests by the playwright has determined the detailed character of Shakespeare tragedies.

It provides readers with an ideal brief introduction to the text before they confront the more complex structure of Milton's final epic version.
