Shakespeare: The Basics is a lively and accessible introduction to reading and studying Shakespeare. Exploring all aspects of Shakespeare’s plays, Sean McEvoy considers the language, cultural contexts, and modern interpretations. This essential guide to a range of contemporary Shakespearean criticism explores and unpacks the different dramatic genres in which he wrote--comedy, history, tragedy and romance. It also provides a wealth of relevant and concise information on the historical, social and political contexts in which the plays were produced and have been understood. Extensively updated throughout, the fourth edition provides: · A comprehensive account of Shakespearean tragedy for students · An introduction to ecocritical, ethical and queer readings of the plays · Analysis of notable recent Shakespeare films and productions · Enhanced contextual material on race and empire, gender roles and the theatre in politics. With fully updated further reading throughout and a wide range of case studies and examples, Shakespeare: The Basics is an indispensable introduction for college and university students of literature and theatre, but also for anyone with an interest in the world’s most influential dramatist.

Sean McEvoy is a Fellow of Murray Edwards College, University of Cambridge, UK. His publications include Tragedy: The Basics (2016), Ben Jonson, Renaissance Dramatist (2008) and William Shakespeare's Hamlet: A Sourcebook (2006).
