Zoe Enser's Bringing Forth the Bard is an artful, accessible, and fascinating guide to Shakespeare's work, drawing on the immense power and the utter joy of studying his writing in a properly academic way. Enser draws masterfully on the intertextuality of the Bard's work, weaving together excellent explanations and practical applications together with a range of superb case studies contributed by myriad subject experts. It is thoroughly expert, insightful and brimming with Enser's clear love of Shakespeare's work. Bringing Forth the Bard is a resource I will return to time and time again, highlighter in hand, ready to share Enser's expert insights with my students. Bloom argues Shakespeare shapes the way we think about the world. This book shapes the way I think about Shakespeare. It is a triumph.Amy Staniforth
