Shakespeare Survey is a yearbook of Shakespeare studies and production. Since 1948, Survey has published the best international scholarship in English and many of its essays have become classics of Shakespeare criticism.

The theme for volume 62 is 'Close Encounters with Shakespeare's Text'. The complete set of Survey volumes is also available online at http://www.cambridge.org/online/shakespearesurvey.
