The Bedside, Bathtub and Armchair Companion to Shakespeare

For students, scholars, theatre lovers and scholars, this book wraps some 400 years of Bardology into a lively and often unexpected package. Included are inside stories on theatre and film productions, `alternate' interpretations of the plays, Shakespeare's status around the world, the clubs and societies, the mysterious life - and even the question that has plagued critics almost from the day he put down his quill: whether Shakespeare even wrote the works attributed to him.
