Synopsis

The design behind the Shakespeare Handbooks is simple: Reading or watching Shakespeare is an experience to be enjoyed to the full. By guiding readers through the difficulties of plot and language, the Handbooks leave them free to enjoy the depth, beauty, and vitality of Shakespeare’s works. Each handbook covers a single play and includes: A complete, straightforward description of the plot, scene by scene, in language that is clear, lively, and concise; Quotations from the text, with explanations of unfamiliar words or phrases; Some thought-provoking facts and ideas about the play, and a few comments from critics, past and present. Taken together, the Shakespeare Handbooks provide a handy introduction for uninitiated theatergoers, film watchers, and readers as well as students of English literature.
