'He was "not of an age, but for all time".' (Shakespeare's
contemporary Ben Jonson) No writer, before or since, has matched
Shakespeare in terms of influence, critical acclaim or popular
success. His genius lay in his sheer dramatic skill, his powerful
use of imagery and his astonishing ability to create richly
imagined characters. Packed full of the Bard's clever insights,
witty asides and timeless nuggets of wisdom, and complemented by
fascinating facts about his life and talents, this Little Book
showcases some of the most remarkable lines ever crafted in the
English language. SAMPLE QUOTES: 'What's in a name? That which we
call a rose By any other word would smell as sweet.' - Romeo and
Juliet, Act 2, Scene 2 'We are such stuff as dreams are made on,
and our little life is rounded with a sleep.' - The Tempest, Act 4,
Scene 1 'Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant
never taste of death but once.' - Julius Caesar, Act 2, Scene 2
SAMPLE FACT: There is evidence that Shakespeare wrote a play called
Cardenio, which was performed by the King's Men in 1613. No known
copy of the play exists today.
