Many people believe only those with a Ph, D. in literature can understand Shakespeare. They would probably be surprised to learn, then, that he wrote his 36 plays for the shopkeepers, the housewives, the apprentices of London. These were ordinary people who eagerly paid their way into the Globe Theater and eventually made him a rich man. Though Shakespeare will certainly make you think, he was never a literary snob or an elitist. He knew how to use ordinary tools like character and plot as well as word to make his point. If you have a bit of imagination and pay attention to detail, you can understand Shakespeare. If you're willing to exercise those skills, In The Theater of Love will provide everything else to make 11 of his most popular plays accessible to you, regardless of your familiarity with British history, literary analysis, or Elizabethan culture. In clear, understandable language, these explanations of the major plays will help you comprehend exactly why Shakespeare's work remains timelessly inspiring and exceptional.
