Why Shakespeare: An Introduction To The Playwright’s Art

For anyone interested in why William Shakespeare is regarded as the most important English-language playwright, Pinciss (emeritus English, Hunter College) explains his skill in dramatizing a story, developing complex characters, and creating a language that makes his work emotionally and intellectually rewarding. He avoids specialized or technical language, and assumes no knowledge about Renaissance England or literary criticism. Annotation 穢2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
