'Shakespeare for Grown-ups' is the essential book for anyone keen to deepen their knowledge of the Bard's key plays and sonnets. It covers the historical context of his writing; his personal life, contemporaries and influences; his language and poetic skill; modern-day adaptations and productions; theories about the authorship of his plays; his most famous speeches and quotations; and more.
