Ros King

Opis

Whether the fault of tedious teachers or hammy actors, Shakespeare is often seen as dry and impenetrable. In this fast-paced introduction, Ros King sets out to remind us of the sheer beauty and sophistication that can make Shakespeare s works a joy for any audience. Exploring his invention, wit, along with his uncanny characterisation, King argues archaic language should be no barrier to the modern reader. With summaries of The Bard s life and background, explanations of the plays origins and instructions on how to read his poetry, Shakespeare: A Beginner s Guide provides all the tools the general reader needs to embrace the greatest writer in the English language."
