Omschrijving
The Shakespeare Handbooks provide a helpful, straightforward guide to the work of the world's most celebrated dramatist. Along with a clear, easy-to-follow description of the plot, each book contains plenty of quotations from the text - with simple explanations of any unfamiliar words and phrases - and some thought-provoking comments from critics, past and present. The Shakespeare Handbooks include a few intriguing Shakespearean facts and figures, too. How old was Shakespeare when he wrote Much Ado About Nothing? How was the play received at the time? What is the significance of references to the plague? What were the 'bawdy courts', and why were they relevant to Much Ado About Nothing? Why was it insulting to call someone 'an orange'? Which character is described by one critic as 'murdering the English language'? Which character in the play says the least but is talked about the most? What are 'haggards of the rock'? What is 'scambling'? And what exactly does a 'perfumer' do? If you're apprehensive about approaching a Shakespeare play, the Shakespeare Handbooks provide the perfect introduction. They're ideal for students, theatregoers - in fact, anyone curious to know more about the greatest plays in the English language. These are a few of the appreciative comments we've received about the Shakespeare Handbooks:
"Tremendously useful in helping to understand Shakespeare's works" - Dame Judi Dench.
"Very readable, very helpful" - Kenneth Branagh."
The Shakespeare Handbooks open the plays up admirably. Excellent for all levels of reader - everybody will get something from them." - Simon Callow.
