Summary |
SHAKESPEARE STUDIES & CRITICISM. The Shakespeare Handbook is the definitive Bard-in-brief. Presenting 50 of the most significant and best-loved scenes from Shakespeare, each extract is preceded by a summary of the play, its plot, characters and themes. The scenes are clearly laid out, with key quotes highlighted and explained, and illustrated with a famous painting, drawing or film still. Arranged chronologically to show the progression in Shakespeare's style and themes, the seminal scenes encompass all of Shakespeare's plays, from the lesser-known Cymbeline, King John and Titus Andronicus to the most famous scenes of all time in Romeo and Juliet, King Lear, Hamlet and Macbeth. |
