Summary: Awesome guide to shakespeare
Comment: After having read most of the plays the hard way, I chanced upon
this book. It is very well written, explains the nuances of words and puns used in the play and the context from 1600s.

It has several useful appendices -- a must for students.

The play summaries at the end of the book
with Venn diagrams -- displaying
the relationships of dramtis personae graphically
alone is well worth the price.

Summary: AWESOME!!!
Comment: Ok, the low-down...this book is amazingly awesome regarding the figuring of just what the heck the Bard was on about in his writings!!! I can't express in words or thoughts just how much this book helped me understand seemingly simple Shakespeare words and/or phrases! Many many Elizabethan words carried different meanings than do their counterparts today. Please...if you like Shakespeare...GET THIS BOOK!!!
