5.0 out of 5 stars Fast and useful read, October 17, 2002
This review is from: Simply Shakespeare (Paperback)
This is a fast, enjoyable read to learn what you don't know or can't remember about Shakespeare's craft. Relying heavily on specific examples, Widdicombe covers all the bases in a conversational mode. Wit and current references keep his voice immediate and accessible. Still his pages are packed with detailed information and explanations. While he leans heavily on Hamlet, Othello, the Henry plays, and Lear, he makes enough references to the others, with the exception of Romeo and Juliet, to be useful to all students and instructors.

Great begineer book for those just being introduced to Shakespeare. It is small and unassuming, yet packed with Shakespearan info.
