"In How to Enjoy Shakespeare, Mr. Fallon explores Shakespeare's familiarity in five sections dealing with language, theme, staging, character, and plot, each abundantly illustrated with episodes and quotations from the plays. He writes in easily accessible prose in a book designed to make modern readers and audiences feel comfortable with the Bard. This is an indispensable primer for those who are meeting Shakespeare for the first time, or those who want to enhance their enjoyment of his great plays."--Jacket.
