Beskrivning
For many theatergoers and readers, Shakespeare's lofty reputation as the world's greatest playwright has turned him into an intimidating, even a forbidding figure. In Shakespeare High and Low, Jeffrey Knapp helps us to understand and enjoy Shakespeare's plays by restoring Shakespeare's own sense of them as neither high culture nor low culture, but a potent amalgam of both. Only in recognizing Shakespeare's determination to connect with every social class in his theater can we begin to grasp how his plays have managed to thrill audiences for so many centuries and across so many cultures.

Dramatic, energetic, humane, witty, able to appeal to a wide audience without ever compromising intelligence, nuance or sophistication – Jeffrey Knapp's new introduction to Shakespearean drama demonstrates many of the characteristics it cherishes in the plays it analyses. A wonderfully persuasive and accessible introduction to eleven of the best scripts ever written.
