Imagining Shakespeare: A History of Texts and Visions, by Stephen Orgel. Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire, and New York: 2003. Pp. xvi + 172. Cloth $26.95.

A kind of decorated annex to his recent study, The Authentic Shakespeare, this book gathers six essays on patterns of representation (in print, on canvas, and in theaters) that relate to and shed light on Shakespeare's works. Orgel's essays in this sumptuously illustrated book (there are 16 plates and 101 figures by my count) extend our knowledge of how Shakespeare has been imagined over time. In doing so, they confirm his well-known appreciation of and eye for visual detail.
