just a study guide

[Rob Thompson · Rating 5 out of 5]

We know what we are, but know not what we may be.
- William Shakespeare

One of the things that puts a lot of people off Shakespeare is his wonderful but difficult to understand use of the English language. In this comprehensive and useful study guide the student can grasp not only the complexities of the language and its use but also the events and themes too. This study guide isn't too complex and it isn't too dumbed down either.

It provides clear and incisive explanations, critical analysis and commentaries of each scene. The book also has a glossary for any tricky meanings, references and words. To get the most of out any Shakespeare play you can't go wrong with York Notes. You'll end up with a much more thorough understanding of where the Bard was coming from.

You'll struggle to spend a five pounds in a more worthwhile way.
