Shakespeare review
This book is a handy review of three of Shakespeare's plays. Bantam editions are particularly useful because of the convenient placing of the explanatory text at the bottom of each page. Shakepeare's text is very rich indeed. But the text is so rich that it is very helpful to have notes at the bottom of each page.

Not as described.
The book I ordered was described as good, but I would only describe it as fair. It had a damaged cover and several pages within in the book were scribbled on with a pen. I did get the book for cheap, but it was not described accurately.

Shakespeare's Problem Plays,

This review is from: Measure for Measure, Troilus and Cressida, and All's Well that Ends Well (Bantam Classic) (Mass Market Paperback)
These three plays include Measure for Measure which is about a man namedClaudio who is sentenced to die for having sexual relations before Church approval. Isabella, his sister, is pressured to have sex with Angelo, the Duke's Deputy in order to release Claudio. Will it work? Read or see the play in NY.All's Well is about a girl, Helena, who chases a cad named Bertram. Why do Shakespeare's women seek men beneath them? Troilus and Cressida are lovers when Troy and Greece are fighting over Helen. Cressida is ransomed over to the Greeks for a general. Will she remain faithful? Will Troilus get her back? Read this book. These plays introduce ring swapping and the infamous bedroom switcheroo--Who's really having sex with whom? For TROILUS knowledge of Homer's ILLIAD is helpful. |
