Opis

First published in 1807, Mary and Charles Lambs Tales from Shakespeare was almost immediately recognized as a classic of childrens literature, and it was reprinted many times in subsequent years. This work examines the significance of the Lambs Tales, including the ways in which the lavishly illustrated Edwardian editions used pictures to convey the stories for children. It also covers Victorian alternatives to the Lambs stories, Shakespeare in English school textbooks from the period, and multi-volume American collections that presented Shakespeare for children.
