This stimulating and accessible book is intended for instructors at
the junior high school, high school, and undergraduate levels who
present some of Shakespeare's most familiar works to students who
are largely unfamiliar with them. Acclaimed teacher of drama Victor
L. Cahn begins with a general introduction, then examines seven of
Shakespeare's plays: THE TAMING OF THE SHREW, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S
DREAM, THE MERCHANT OF VENICE, TWELFTH NIGHT, RICHARD II, HENRY IV,
PART 1, and THE TEMPEST. With attention always directed towards
inspiring student interest and response, Professor Cahn provides an
overview or "spine" for each work, then proceeds scene by scene,
focusing on salient characters, details of language, and major
themes. The volume not only is entertaining and clear, but also
raises provocative points of interpretation as well as numerous
questions for discussion. Underlying the project is the conviction
that although the plays are most effective in performance, they can
nonetheless prove compelling in the classroom, where students can
appreciate that although these works are set in a distant time and
place, their issues and implications remain universal.
