Shakespeare: A Complete Introduction

A very lively and enthusiastic introduction to the full range of Shakespeare’s plays. I can think of no better way to encounter the issues that these plays raise and the possibilities that they offer for performance. Michael Scott’s wholly admirable strategy is to focus on particular issues that the plays raise, to incorporate into his discussions some aspects of the latest scholarship, and to provide pathways through the texts with a firm eye on the reader’s and the spectator’s enjoyment. – John Drakakis, Professor of English, University of StirlingA masterpiece of the genre, written as it is with passion, without condescension, without jargon, thoughtful and open to changing critical theories, but always returning to the plays themselves, plays that fully reveal themselves most in performance. – Martin Wine, Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC)

Michael Scott is Director of Oxford-Scott Education Ltd; Honorary Senior Provost of University of Wales Trinity St David, Lampeter; and Emeritus Professor of English and Theatre Studies at Glyndwr University of which he was the founding Vice Chancellor.
