A Washington Square Press book published by Pocket Books
A Visual Guide to Shakespeare's Life and Times is literally a filmstrip in book form, a tour under expert guidance. Reproductions of engravings, woodcuts, line drawings, paintings and photographs illustrate the lively narrative account of the various factors that contributed to the legend of the Bard of Avon. Not only are the names, places and events identified visually, but an ingenious analysis helps the reader trace particular lines and phrases to their background sources. This is no dreary record of biographical detail; it is, instead, a vibrant portrait of the most honored literary figure mankind has produced. (from back of book)
