Shakespeare on Toast - Ben Crystal

Whether you’re studying Shakespeare for the first time or you’ve never set foot near one of his plays but have always wanted to, this book smashes down the walls that have been built up around an untouchable literary figure. The Bard's bright words and colourful characters are brought brilliantly to life, sweeping away cobwebs from his language, his life, his world, his sounds, his craft. It reveals man and work as relevant, accessible and alive - and, astonishingly, finds Shakespeare's own voice amid the poetry.
