商品簡介
Shakespeare is one of the most studied figures in English history, but we still know so little about him. There are only a few documents that chart his life from obscurity in Stratford-upon-Avon to success and court patronage in London. Here, however, is the perfect introduction to the Bard, ideal for anyone who has ever avoided the man or his work.
This essential new guide contains a commentary by distinguished Shakespeare biographer Peter Ackroyd and includes summaries of all the plays, along with descriptions of the cast and the drama---not forgetting the best speeches, and the wit and wisdom from across the works. It also brings alive the world of Elizabeth theatre to show what life would have been like at the Globe on London's South Bank, and how the players brought Shakespeare's words to life.
