This collection of essays and reviews represents the most significant and comprehensive writing on Shakespeare's A Comedy of Errors. Miola's edited work also features a comprehensive critical history, coupled with a full bibliography and photographs of major productions of the play from around the world. In the collection, there are five previously unpublished essays. The topics covered in these new essays are women in the play, the play's debt to contemporary theater, its critical and performance histories in Germany and Japan, the metrical variety of the play, and the distinctly modern perspective on the play as containing dark and disturbing elements. To compliment these new essays, the collection features significant scholarship and commentary on The Comedy of Errors that is published in obscure and difficulty accessible journals, newspapers, and other sources. This collection brings together these essays for the first time.

Praise for the previous editions:?Emphasizing a close link between development theory and the actual practice of economic policymaking, Rapley grounds the discussion in a way that will be much appreciated by both students and their instructors.... [He] writes with a rare clarity.??Bruce E. Moon, American Political Science Review?Concise, yet all encompassing and meticulously referenced.... Rapley?s study is determined to unravel the intricacies of development practice across the third world and map out its intellectual roots. The project certainly succeeds in these goals.? ?Firooza Pavri, Progress in Development StudiesThis lucidly written book, thoroughly updated, provides both an assessment of the current state of development theory and an extensive survey of the impact of evolving policies and practices throughout the developing world.Rapley critically traces the evolution of development theory from its strong statist orientation in the early postwar period, through the neoclassical phase, to the present emerging consensus on people-centered development. New to the third edition is a chapter on ?postdevelopment? thought, as well as increased attention to the challenges posed by weak states and by critical environmental issues.Using a wide range of examples, Rapley shows where and how various approaches to development have worked?or failed?continuing to confront the question of why development remains so far out of reach for so many poor countries.John Rapley is senior lecturer in the Department of Government, University of the West Indies (Mona). His publications include Globalization and Inequality: Neoliberalism?s Downward Spiral.Contents: Introduction. The Progress of Development. Development Theory in the Postwar Period.
