Shakespeare's World
Description
Positioning Shakespeare historically and geographically is a must if we are to appreciate his works. This study opens in the wider context of Elizabethan and Jacobean England and narrows to Shakespeare’s familial, personal, and creative profile. We also nail down the main forms and genres in which he wrote, along with key techniques such as iambic pentameter.
