Description
Shakespeare's writings are everywhere - in books and movies, in love and war, in everyday speech. Yet what makes his work persistently powerful and fascinating? To explore this question, focus on what he actually wrote. Nicholas Royle offers close readings of Shakespeare's plays to convey the richness and complexity of his work. Through extracts from some of his most popular plays, including The Merchant of Venice, Julius Caesar, As You Like It, Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth and Antony and Cleopatra, Royle lets readers experience the extraordinary pleasure and stimulation of reading Shakespeare anew. This book is a fresh perspective on the playwright's work. With 128 pages of close analysis, this book provides an opportunity to re-engage with Shakespeare's writing in a new way.
