Focusing on the scarcity of original music for Shakespeare's plays, this work addresses the challenge scholars have faced for over a century in reconstructing the songs. Ross W. Duffin presents a comprehensive collection that brings together the surviving song lyrics and their musical settings, effectively bridging a significant gap in Shakespearean studies. Awarded the Claude V. Palisca Award, this book offers a fresh perspective on the intersection of music and literature in Shakespeare's works.
