An essential introductory text that provides students with a lively
and enjoyable tour of Shakespeare's life, his writing career and the
theatre of his time. Concise yet comprehensive, the guide examines the
texts of twenty widely-studied plays, and the Sonnets, illuminating
both their original contexts and their later reception. Lucidly
written, with no jargon, this is an invaluable overview of
Shakespeare's life and works for students who may be studying
Shakespeare for the first time. This is an ideal set text for modules
on Shakespeare, Jacobean Drama or Renaissance/ Early Modern Literature
which may be offered at all levels of an undergraduate Literature
degree. In addition it is a helpful resource for students who may be
studying Shakespeare's plays as part of a taught postgraduate degree
in Literature. New to this Edition: - New material on politics and
history - Clearer chapter titles and explanation of the scope and
rationale of the book - Updated and expanded bibliography with more on
gender, performance, politics and history
