|  | Shakespeare by Stanley Wells
The director of the Shakespeare Institute, Stanley Wells, here brings his incomparable knowledge of the subject to a new study of the world's most famous playwright. Even at a time when the established canon of the English language is under attack, Shakespeare's plays continue to form the basis of a literary education. Interpreted anew each time they are performed on stage or assessed in the classroom, we embrace the works and yet we still cannot apprehend the man. AUTHOR: Stanley Wells
