Book Reviews of Shylock Is Shakespeare

Book Review: "Poseur Alert"
Summary: 2 Stars

This may not be the worst book of Shakespearean criticism ever written, but it ranks way up there among the most pretentious. Frequently spurning coherence, Gross regales the reader with endless, often forced parallels to Shakespeare and Shylock that apparently just pop into his mind from his own readings of other writers, ancient and modern. What this lack of intellectual discipline amounts to is less light shed on the author or central character of "The Merchant of Venice," and more on the reading habits of self-absorbed critic Kenneth Gross.
