Recenzii

An amazing achievement - the book I turn to before seeing any new production.
Well-honed, stylish and thoroughly enjoyable
Handy, companionable and trustworthy ... awesomely assured ... this is a must-own volume that Bard veterans and apprentices alike will punish - and reward - with daily use.
You couldn't wish for a more user-friendly, reliable guidebook ... I doff my Bardic cap to this fine achievement
A reference work and more, which could hardly be bettered, strongly recommended to all students and playgoers.
About as far from York Notes-style platitudes as it's possible to be.
What I like most about The Rough Guide to Shakespeare is that its author grinds no axes of any kind ... his native good sense shines through on every page.
An extraordinary feat ... Energetic and fully comprehensive - the ultimate companion to Shakespeare's life and work, and written with enthusiasm and relish. It's a real treat.
Compendious and likely to be extremely useful, whether you are just beginning Shakespeare or preparing to see your forty-eighth Hamlet.
Cuts through the whole of Shakespeare with panache and critical acuity.
