Designed for students, theatre-goers, and curious readers alike, this compact reference work chronicles the full sweep of Shakespeare's output, from the soaring tragedies and buoyant comedies to the complex histories and enigmatic romances, offering clear and insightful commentary on plot, character, and context. Goodwin writes with the precision of a scholar and the accessibility of a gifted teacher, making this volume an invaluable introduction for those approaching Shakespeare for the first time as well as a handy refresher for seasoned admirers. Published under the distinguished Heinemann imprint — long associated with quality educational and literary texts — A Short Guide to Shakespeare's Plays argues that great drama is never beyond reach, and that understanding Shakespeare's world only deepens the power of his words.
