Professor Emeritus of English Gerald M. Pinciss presents Why Shakespeare: An Introduction To The Playwright's Art "demystifies" the talents and skills of the immortal bard, whose theatrical works were created centuries ago under conditions best called primitive yet which resonate among audiences worldwide today. Why Shakespeare explains the structural, plotting, theatrical, and language elements that distinguished Shakespeare's work in plain terms, avoiding technical jargon to better reach the lay reader as surely as the would-be playwright and the learned literary critic striving to better understand how Shakespeare's works so transcended their time. Particularly focusing on a dozen of Shakespeare's best-known plays, Why Shakespeare is highly recommended reading for all who appreciate and wish to better understand Shakespeare's genius.
