The books are organized in much the same way, tackling each play one-by-one, chapter by chapter.

    <body><![CDATA[Amazingly readable, entertaining and engaging essays on Shakespeare's plays-even if you haven't read the play under discussion (I haven't read them all, and Prof. Garber covers them all here). But, if you have read the play(s), Garber's insights will add so much to your enjoyment of them.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[If you don't actually enjoy reading Shakespeare but would like to know more about his plays, understand and be able to speak intelligently about them, then simply read this.  Its an easy read, gives you insights to the plots and characters, along with synopses of each play and the sonnets.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Garber knows Shakespeare as well as anyone--she is a Harvard prof. Her undergrad Shakespeare survey at Harvard is SRO so she knows how to present to non-specialists. Here she covers all the plays and the sonnets in witty, informative and well written essays. ]]></body>
