The Shakespeare Handbooks
Guides to the texts and the plays in performance
The Shakespeare Handbooks are introductory guides to each of the key plays offering students a scene-by-scene commentary, contextual documents, a brief history of the text and first performances, case studies of key performances and productions, as well as a wide sampling of critical opinion and annotated further reading.
The Handbooks will provide an experience as close to a visit to the theatre as possible in print and offer a scene-by-scene aid to coming to an informed and independent opinion about the plays achievement.
