Book Review:
Emma Smith's ''This is Shakespeare'' is a fresh and accessible introduction to the Bard's plays. Smith argues that Shakespeare's works prompt questions rather than provide answers, and she explores how they live on the stage. With remarkable new readings, the book illuminates what is at stake in the plays. It's a joy to read, full of questions, surprises, and new ideas. If asked to recommend one guide for discovering Shakespeare, this would be it. A fascinating new perspective from a deeply informed scholar.
