À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Your complete introduction to Shakespeare
William Shakespeare has been hailed as one of the greatest thinkers of all time, one of the world's finest artists, poets and dramatists. So intense has the Shakespeare industry become that, in any single year, there are probably more words written about him or spoken of him than he wrote himself.

In view of the vast amount of scholarship about the man and his work, it is no wonder that some people approach his plays with trepidation. But Shakespeare wrote for everyone, whoever they were. He is as comprehensive in his entertainment as he is in his audiences.

Shakespeare: A Complete Introduction introduces and explains the plays by looking at how they work, taking you on a journey through the genres of comedy, history and tragedy. The best known and most popular plays are discussed in detail and even plays in which Shakespeare may have had only the briefest creative and collaborative interest as a writer, get at least a mention.

With material on his poetry and discussions on aspects of his life too, this truly is a complete introduction to Shakespeare.

Michael Scott is Director of Oxford-Scott Education Ltd; Honorary Senior Provost of University of Wales Trinity St David, Lampeter; and Emeritus Professor of English and Theatre Studies at Glyndwr University of which he was the founding Vice Chancellor. He has taught with the Royal Shakespeare Company and at Universities around the world, including Georgetown University, Washington DC. Through his numerous publications he has opened up the world of Shakespeare and his contemporaries to students, readers, theatre goers and all.
