书名: The Cambridge Introduction to Shakespeare (Cambridge Introductions to Literature)
作者: Emma Smith (Author)
出版社: Cambridge University Press; 1 edition (April 9, 2007)
语言: English
ISBN-10: 0521671884
ISBN-13: 978-0521671880
Book Description
Must-have guides designed to introduce students and teachers to key topics and authors. This lively and innovative introduction to Shakespeare promotes active engagement with the plays, rather than recycling factual information. Covering a range of texts, it is divided into seven subject-based chapters: Character; Performance; Texts; Language; Structure; Sources and History, and it does not assume any prior knowledge. Instead, it develops ways of thinking and provides the reader with resources for independent research through the 'Where next?' sections at the end of each chapter. The book draws on up-to-date scholarship without being overwhelmed by it, and unlike other introductory guides to Shakespeare it emphasizes that there is space for new and fresh thinking by students and readers, even on the most-studied and familiar plays.
Review
'... a dazzling, reader-friendly tutorial in reading Shakespearean drama'. -- Emily Bartels, Rutgers University, New Jersey
