Shakespeare the playwright : a companion to the complete tragedies, histories, comedies, and romances
A useful guide for the general reader, as well as high school and undergraduate students, to Shakespeare's 37 plays. After a brief introduction outlining Shakespeare's life and career, Cahn carefully guides the reader through each play, from first scene to last, using a mixture of quotation, paraphrase, and critical comment. His style is accessible and unpretentious ... The bibliographies at the end of each chapter, and at the end of the volume, provide a guide to further study for the nonspecialist.??Library Journal
