Kent Lehnhof
Kent Lehnhof earned a BA in English from Brigham Young University and a PhD in British Literature from Duke University. He has taught at Chapman University since 2004, where he holds the rare distinction of having been awarded Chapman's highest honor for scholarship (the Wang-Fradkin Professorship, which Dr. Lehnhof received in 2008) and Chapman's highest honor for teaching (the Outstanding Teaching Professorship, which Dr. Lehnhof received in 2013).
Dr. Lehnhof's past research projects have focused on (1) somatic experience in John Milton's Paradise Lost , (2) intersections of antitheatricalism and antifeminism in early modern England, (3) Levinasian readings of Shakespeare, and (4) representations of twinship on the Renaissance stage.

Articles/Chapters by Kent Lehnhof
Understanding Shakespeare is an easy-to-use reference that gives you a way into every play Shakespeare wrote through a combination of enriching information, eye-opening analysis, and frank discussion. Whereas other guidebooks present the plays neutrally, this one acknowledges that not all of them are perfect gems. Understanding Shakespeare is unique-and uniquely helpful-in offering not only a sophisticated understanding of each play but also a candid review of its accomplishments and challenges, enabling you to make informed decisions about what to read or see and what to look for when you do. This is the book to get if you want to get Shakespeare.
