Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

This book is not intended for the student or the scholar although, it is hoped, to expert eyes the marks of acquaintance with the best authorities may be everywhere visible but for those who would like to be readers of Shakspeare but are deterred by the difficulties of approach. In the English-speaking lands there are multitudes who read the dramatist with intelligence and delight; but, in this century of universal reading, the numbers enjoying this means of culture might be vastly increased; and the purpose of this book is to serve as a Murray or Baedeker for those to whom this is to a large extent an unvisited land to let them know how to get there and what there is to see.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book serves as a guide for readers who desire to delve into the world of Shakespeare but feel intimidated by the complexities of his language and historical context. The author suggests beginning with the English Histories, a collection of plays that showcase Shakespeare's development as a writer and offer a captivating entry point into his works. Through these plays, Shakespeare explores themes of patriotism, royalty, war, and character with remarkable depth and insight. He paints vivid portraits of English kings and nobles, capturing their ambitions, struggles, and the weight of their responsibilities. The plays also offer glimpses into the lives of ordinary people, highlighting the impact of war and social upheaval on their everyday existence. Shakespeare's characters, both noble and common, grapple with universal human experiences: love, loss, betrayal, and the complexities of conscience. While the plays are set in a specific historical period, the themes they explore remain relevant and relatable to readers today. Ultimately, this book demonstrates how Shakespeare's English Histories offer not only a window into a fascinating period of history but also timeless insights into the human condition. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
