Babs: Subtitled
"A Throughly Painless Guide to the Bard", this is a great
(and sometimes hilariously irreverent) introduction to Shakespeare
and some of his most popular work. While it basically singles out
only 6 or 7 plays and only a few of his more famous sonnets, it
does touch on each of his writing periods, and basically gives reviews,
articles, commentaries and quotes (and even some juicy backstage
gossip) from such actors as Orson Wells, Sir Laurence Olivier and
Patrick Stewart. Its a very accessable book, and even if you think
Shakespeare's plays are about as exciting as watching paint dry
and reading about them is even worse, you should really give it
a look. |
