An introductory guide to studying Shakespeare This book is a
'one-stop-shop' for the busy undergraduate studying Shakespeare.

undergraduate courses, the volume targets the topics tutors choose
for essay questions and is organised to help students find the
information they need quickly. Each text discussion contains
sections on sources, characters, performance, themes, language, and
critical history, helping students identify the different ways of
approaching a text. The book's unique play-based structure and
character-centre approach allows students to easily navigate the
material. The flexibility of the design allows students to either
read cover-to-cover, target a specific play, or explore elements of
a narrative unit such as imagery or characterisation. The reader
will gain quickly a full grasp of the kind of dramatist William
Shakespeare was - and is. Key Features An introduction which gives
an up-to-date 'state-of-play' of the academic, theatrical and
