Index.
"This brilliant and inspirational book offers new insight into the
work and world of William Shakespeare and offers fresh
demonstration of his relevance for our own lives and troubles. At
once immensely erudite and extraordinarily accessible, Maguire
shows how broken-hearts, dysfunctional families, domestic violence,
and other personal and social problems, was all grist for
Shakespeare's theatrical imagination. Alongside unflinching
criticism of a world-gone-wrong, Shakespeare also offered his
audiences solace and hope. The top book on Shakespeare this year,
Studying Shakespeare should be on everyone's bookshelf and on The
Times Best Seller list." Dypmna Callaghan
"Maguire's book is fiesty, informative and stimulating."
