Opis

The Facts On File Companion to Shakespeare is the largest and most comprehensive student's guide to Shakespeare ever published. The primary goal of this new five-volume set is to make Shakespeare's poems and plays accessible and appealing to high school and college students. Written and edited by active Shakespearean scholars and critics who have a love of teaching and explaining Shakespeare, this landmark collection presents Shakespeare's poems and plays in a whole new light for anyone interested in fully comprehending this great writer's works. Part I contains background essays. Part II of the set covers Shakespeare's poems, including the longer poems Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece; the shorter poem "The Phoenix and the Turtle"; and Shakespeare's sonnets. Part III, which takes up four of the set's five volumes, examines all of Shakespeare's plays, including the plays he wrote in collaboration with other playwrights.
