Review title: Bate's Boring Bard
Product review: Trying out a moderate position that lets him have his conservative genius Shakespeare in quotes and so eat it too, Bate has written a lifeless, boring account of Shakespeare. The prose is wooden. The book is so tedious I confess I didn't get through much of it.
