Description
The Shakespeare Handbooks include a few intriguing Shakespearean facts and figures, too. How old was Shakespeare when he wrote Twelfth Night? Where did he get the name of the play's central character, Orsino? Which topics are mentioned more frequently in this play than in any other by Shakespeare? What is an 'ordinary fool'? And why was Twelfth Night not published during Shakespeare's lifetime?
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.
