The Shakespeare Handbooks provide a helpful, straightforward guide 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 Measure for Measure? What influence did the newly-crowned King James have on his career? Where does the play's title come from? Why do some critics call it a 'tragicomedy'? Which word is used more frequently in this play than in any other by Shakespeare? Where would you find a 'stew'? Why is 'informal' an insult? And what is 'the sweat'?

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:
