The Bedside, Bathtub & Armchair Companion to Shakespeare

For students, scholars, theatre lovers and scholars, this book wraps some 400 years of Bardology into a lively and often unexpected package. Included are inside stories on theatre and film productions, 'alternate' interpretations of the plays, Shakespeare's status around the world, the clubs and societies, the mysterious life - and even the question that has plagued critics almost from the day he put down his quill: whether Shakespeare even wrote the works attributed to him.
