Offering detailed guidance to the plays most often taught on undergraduate courses, the volume targets the topics tutors choose for essay questions and is organised to help students find the information they need quickly. Each text discussion contains sections on sources, characters, performance, themes, language, and critical history, helping students identify the different ways of approaching a text. The book's unique play-based structure and character-centre approach allows students to easily navigate the material. The flexibility of the design allows students to either read cover-to-cover, target a specific play, or explore elements of a narrative unit such as imagery or characterisation. The reader will gain quickly a full grasp of the kind of dramatist William Shakespeare was - and is.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn introduction which gives an up-to-date 'state-of-play' of the academic, theatrical and cultural efforts inspired by Shakespeare's texts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA discussion of critical approaches to the playwright's texts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSuccinct guides to Shakespeare's most-studied plays\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscussion questions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William McKenzie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 147441351X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474413510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.90w x 0.70d","brand":"William McKenzie","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44123876262143,"sku":"9781474413510","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_66d2a430-2e02-4a40-b432-ca13b53d43d7.jpg?v=1687433408","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-students-guide-to-shakespeare-william-mckenzie-9781474413510","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
