Author Description

"Doing Shakespeare demystifies and clarifies the study of Shakespeare, tackling many of the challenges students and audiences face in understanding his drama and language. It confronts the most basic and commonly asked questions: does Shakespeare matter, does he have anything to say to us; if he has, why does he say it like he does? How does Shakespeare do it - and how are we supposed to 'do' Shakespeare?" "Doing Shakespeare is ideal for anyone new to Shakespeare, or for anyone who wants Shakespeare to be made new again for them."--BOOK JACKET.
