Description

Ideas in Profile: Small Introductions to Big TopicsShakespeare is the world's greatest writer.

In this lively and authoritative introduction, Paul Edmondson presents Shakespeare afresh as a dramatist and poet, and encourages us to take ownership of the works for ourselves as words to be spoken as well as discussed.

We get a wide sense of what his life was like, his rich language, and astonishing cultural legacy.

We catch glimpses of Shakespeare himself, how he wrote and see what his works mean to readers and theatre practitioners.

Above all, we see how Shakespeare tackled the biggest themes of humanity: power, history, war and love. Shakespeare scholar Paul Edmondson guides us through the most important questions around Shakespeare and in the process reminds us just why he is so celebrated in the first place.
