The works of Shakespeare have become staples of literature. They are everywhere,
from our early schooling to the lecture rooms of academia, from classic theatre
to modern adaptations on stage and screen. But how well do we really know his
plays?
In this witty, iconoclastic book, the bestselling author Fintan O'Toole examines
four of Shakespeare's most enduring tragedies: Hamlet , Macbeth , Othello and
King Lear . He shows how their tragic heroes have been over-simplified and
moulded to fit restrictive, conservative values, and restores the true heart and
spirit of the classics.
'I've never read a book like this before: it's challenging, irreverent and
funny.' Roddy Doyle
