Download or read book Asimov's Guide to Shakespeare written by Isaac Asimov and published by Wings. This book was released on 1978 with total page 1544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shakespeare's genius is marked by his rare ability to appeal to theatergoers of all types and all levels of education. But for most modern folks, the Greek and Roman mythology and history, let alone the history of England and the geography of sixteenth-century Europe that his works are laden with, are hardly within our grasp. Isaac Asimov comes to making obscure issues clear to the layperson, selects key passages from 38 of the great bard's plays plus two of his narrative poems and, with the help of beautifully rendered maps an figures, illuminates us about their historical and mythological background.
