Arranged alphabetically, it details every aspect of Shakespeare's life and work — from the plays and poems themselves to the actors, theatres, editors, and critics who shaped their reception across the ages. Halliday's tone is scholarly yet accessible, making it an indispensable resource for both serious academics and enthusiastic general readers. The companion chronicles the evolution of Shakespearean interpretation from the Elizabethan stage through the mid-twentieth century, illustrating how each era reimagined the playwright's genius to suit its own cultural moment. With entries spanning biography, textual history, and theatrical tradition, it stands as one of the most thorough single-volume guides to the world of Shakespeare ever compiled.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887879237851,"sku":"2026770001684-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f2810bb8-0f38-4219-9281-5c1aaedb9747.png?v=1781747582","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770001684-secondhand-a-shakespeare-companion-1564-1964","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
