Publisher : In the same winning formula as The New Bedside, Bathtub & Armchair Companion to Agatha Christie (more than 300,000 copies sold) and The Bedside, Bathtub & Armchair Companion to Sherlock Holmes (1999), this all-new companion to Shakespeare will present The Bard in a new and exciting way in a new century. For students, scholars, theater lovers, and scholars – nearly everyone! – this book wraps some 400 years of Bardology into a lively and often unexpected their witty and inimitable way, Dick Riley and Pam McAllister examine the whole dramatic canon, play by play, including dramas of disputed authorship. (The long poems and sonnets are also covered.) Included are inside stories on theater and film productions, “alternate” interpretations of the plays, Shakespeare’s status around the world, the clubs and societies, the mysterious life – and even the question that has plagued critics almost from the day he put down his quill: whether Shakespeare even wrote the works attributed to him.
