William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is recognized around the world as the greatest English playwright. Almost four hundred years after his death, the interest in his life and work is stronger than ever. Yet Shakespeare himself is still a puzzle to biographers. The scarcity of hard evidence relating to some crucial aspects of Shakespeare's life has given rise to much speculation over the centuries, including some doubt as to the authorship of his most famous plays. We still don't know if he actually knew Queen Elizabeth I, whether he was fond of ale or sack, or why his father suffered such a decline in fortune during William's early childhood. This entertaining and authoritative account of the Bard's life and work by theatre expert Dominic Shellard provides a clear account of the main events in the playwright's life, and gives new insights into the circumstances and influences that shaped his major works. The text and illustrations are based on the manuscript and printed book collections of the British Library. Book jacket.

Hamlet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare sometime between 1599 and 1601. Set in Denmark, the play depicts Prince Hamlet and his revenge against his uncle, Claudius, who has murdered Hamlet's father in order to seize his throne and marry Hamlet's mother.
Hamlet is Shakespeare's longest play and is considered among the most powerful and influential works of world literature, with a story capable of "seemingly endless retelling and adaptation by others". It was one of Shakespeare's most popular works during his lifetime and still ranks among his most performed, topping the performance list of the Royal Shakespeare Company and its predecessors in Stratford-upon-Avon since 1879.

Without a doubt the most important of Shakespeare's nondramatic works, the sonnets have engendered reams of scholarly disputation as to the identity of "the dark lady" and the "lovely boy" to whom the vast majority are addressed. Controversy has also long simmered over the full name of the "W.H." of the dedication. What is not in dispute is the superior quality of these lyrics, which rank among the finest sonnets ever written -- in any language.
Overt 150 poems deal with love, friendship, the tyranny of time, beauty's evanescence in power, death, and other themes in language unsurpassed in power, precision, and beauty. Now this inexpensive Dover edition enables any lover of poetry or fine literature to have this exquisite verse in his or her personal library. A brief glossary illuminates a number of archaic terms.

A fresh look at a play usually regarded as the first component of a three-part historical epic, this edition argues that King Henry VI Part 1 is a prequel, a free-standing piece that returns for ironic and dramatic effect to a story already familiar to its audience. The play's ingenious use of stage space is closely analysed, as is its manipulation of a series of setpiece combats to give a coherent syntax of action. Discussion of the dramatic structure created by the opposing figures of Talbot and Jeanne la Pucelle, and exploration of the critical controversies surrounding the figure of Jeanne, lead to a reflection on the nature of the history play as genre in the 1590s.
