Recenzii

The particular strength of Pamela Bickley and Jenny Stevens' thorough guide to the study of Shakespeare's plays is its targeting. Their discussion of each of fourteen of the plays is framed via the introduction of a theoretical method and an exploration of Shakespeare's language, thus offering a critical tool-kit aimed squarely and effectively at undergraduates and ambitious sixthformers . . . Bickley and Stevens know their audience and address it clearly and unpatronisingly. Everyone who wants, or is just beginning, to study English literature at university would benefit from this book.
The defining quality of Bickley and Stevens' Essential Shakespeare is the absolute clarity of their organisation as they navigate the extensive field of Shakespearean criticism . The palpable enjoyment to be found in close textual analysis is evident throughout the text and is extremely thorough and precise . Bickley and Stevens engage students who will enjoy their direct, modern approach, as well as teachers who can enjoy the wry smile and the shared experience of justifying literary analysis to teenagers: 'Did Shakespeare really intend all this?'
[T]his engaging volume successfully explains the most important concepts related to the playwright's use of language through a number of critical perspectives ... The Essential Shakespeare is a well-balanced synthesis where each chapter provides a real wealth of information about the playwright. More importantly, it offers a highly readable overview of Shakespeare's main plays for those already acquainted with the playwright's language ... [I]t certainly deserves to be given a special place on academic bookshelves.
