The Shakespeare Handbooks provide helpful, straightforward guides 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 All's Well That Ends Well? How might the play have been influenced by Shakespeare's own experience of love? Why did actors in the 1740s call it 'the unfortunate comedy'? What does the play tell us, if anything, about Shakespeare's grasp of geography? Which character did the actress Ellen Terry describe as 'really despicable'? What were the 'bawdy courts', and why were they relevant to All's Well That Ends Well? Why does the word 'honour' appear so frequently in the play? What are 'ordinaries'? And 'poniards'? And 'hildings'? Who were the 'Muskos'? And was it a compliment to describe someone as possessing 'modern grace'? 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.
