This study considers the plays by Shakespeare produced during the reign of Elizabeth I, and discusses some of the key issues of the day in their historical context. Using a comparative method that seeks to move away from the division of Shakespeare's works into categories of tragedies, comedies and histories, plays are compared and contrasted for the purpose of analyzing wider contextual questions. The plays considered include "Hamlet", "Julius Caesar", "Twelth Night", "The Merchant of Venice" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream".

Sexuality and power in the three parts of "King Henry VI"; a range of voices - "Titus Andronicus" and "Love's Labour's Lost"; the prison and the world - "Richard II"; wayward sons and daughters - "Romeo and Juliet", "A Midsummer Night's Dream", "Henry I Part 1"; the boundaries of comedy - "The Taming of the Shrew" and "The Merchant of Venice"; England, the world's best garden - "Henry IV Part 2" and "Henry V"; the play's the thing - "The Merry Wives of Windsor"; love and disillusionment - "As You Like It" and "Twelfth Night"; the rotten state - "Hamlet" and "Julius Caesar"; the fairy-tale in crisis - "Much Ado About Nothing", "Troilus and Cressida", "All's Well That Ends Well".
