Starting out following Shakespeare, she weaves in just the right amount of storytelling and imaginative deduction alongside historical fact to produce a brilliantly compelling story. This is not a book which focuses too heavily on academic theory, and instead is a wonderful relaxed read. Arnold's building of imagery allows you to sink into what life in Shakespeareâ€™s London would have been like, imagining the sights, sounds and smells of the time. Taking us through the history of Shakespeare's career in London, through the first and second Globe Theatres and the movements against these and the theatrical world in general, and onward to Sam Wanamaker's ground-breaking reconstruction now known worldwide as Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, Arnold weaves a heady tale that is both enjoyable and informative.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 8.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; color: black;\"\u003eThis book is a lovely gift for those who are excited about Shakespeare and would like to find out more about him, as well as the world that he lived in and drew on so heavily for his plays. It gives an insight not just into the world of the theatre at the time, but also the political machinations happening as part of the late Elizabethan and early Jacobian courts, and how the actor, turned playwright and successful businessman that was William Shakespeare managed to navigate his way to prosperity, succeeding and learning where others around him fell. You are brought in alongside famous characters such as the Burbages, Will Kemp and Christopher Marlowe as a fly on the wall and are allowed to feel the peaks and pitfalls of their journey, all from the comfort of your own armchair. As a relaxed, informative but not overbearing read, I would be happy to recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about life in 16th-century London and the story of theatre's humble roots in England at that time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 8.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; color: black;\"\u003eReviewed by Harry (Tour Guide and Visitor Operations Assistant)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7828597211194,"sku":"9781471125706","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/7162\/4762\/files\/globe-life-in-shakespeares-london.jpg?v=1710234933"},{"product_id":"bill-bryson-shakespeare","title":"Bill Bryson: Shakespeare","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn amusing and accessible short biography of William Shakespeare written by best-selling author, Bill Bryson.

Their stories are interwoven with studies of topics ranging from Tudor toys to contraception to witchcraft, painting a portrait of the lives of queens and serving maids, nuns and harlots, widows and chaperones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEvery purchase you make supports the work of Shakespeare's Globe.

The end result, is a brilliant, compelling read, featuring an engaging mix of Women ranging from the well-known and through to the lesser known (and\/or barely known at all). It tours the full social scale, from Monarchs to paupers and the trials and tribulations of navigating the many layers in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"86\" data-end=\"1064\"\u003eNorton frames her book around the Shakespearean ‘Seven Ages of Men’ concept (made familiar in Shakespeare’s speech by Jaques, in As You Like It). Thus, each of the chapters corresponds to the phases of life made famous in the speech; ‘the mewling infant’ through to ‘second childishness’ and ‘mere oblivion’. Everything is covered in sequence, as per the journey of Tudor Women. The Male preference of the era notwithstanding, the variance of education for Women across the classes is covered, through to the class-led differences in childcare and rearing. This is followed through to the earliest transactional age for Women where marriage becomes the main focus of the day. (Some interesting moments crop up here, not least Tudor attempts at successful contraception methods for example). We are well versed in the politics of the period, and Norton unpacks this thoroughly. The joy of the book however is the discovery of the other paths and concerns for Women of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1066\" data-end=\"2240\"\u003eIn an unexpected realisation for me, the chapter of life where a Woman may experience Widowhood, Norton positions as providing the seeds for their liberation – a view not typically synonymous with the period. The same can be said for business and careers, where indeed it has long been suggested that careers outside of marriage, its associated politics and matters of children were virtually non-existent. Norton acknowledges this but also provides interesting positivity in the myriad of examples of Women blazing trails in male-dominated spheres and environments, often crucially made viable by the death of a Male spouse, whereupon in an ironic twist of fate, more equitable terms of business, money-making and decision making are conferred upon the Woman. Perhaps at odds with the concept that her life was too over (though it is worth noting that these ‘benefits’ were more substantial when the marriage match was more lucrative in the first place; either in terms of a pre-existing title or thriving business). Nonetheless, Norton makes a strong case for this second phase of a Tudor Woman’s life to hold significant, previously unseen levels of freedom and autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2242\" data-end=\"2557\"\u003eFar from the often-held view of the Tudor female role being typically unbearable, restricted and commoditised, Norton contrasts these uncomfortable truths with remarkable examples of strong, opinionated, successful, vengeful, dynamic, intelligent and inspiring Women, through to the very end and across all classes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2559\" data-end=\"2816\"\u003eThis book renewed my fascination with the period and has only whet my appetite to read further on some of the specific Women Norton introduces the reader to, so at risk of developing a habit going forward, can’t recommend this historical tour highly enough!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2818\" data-end=\"2866\"\u003eReviewed by Emily (Visitor Operations Assistant)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7894336798778,"sku":"9781784081768","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/7162\/4762\/files\/the-lives-of-tudor-women.jpg?v=1710254641"},{"product_id":"shakespeare-mini-box-set","title":"Shakespeare Boxset of Miniature Books","description":"\u003cp\u003eMiniature box set containing three novelty Shakespeare books in a hardback slipcase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWilliam Shakespeare:  The Complete Plays in One Sitting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA miniature book packed with witty summaries of William Shakespeare's plays, perfect for either dipping into or can easily by read at one sitting.

So a book claiming to provide me with everything I need to know about the Bard is a very intriguing prospect. With the recent trend of interesting data presentation, I was glad to see that Foley and Coates' book follow suit. With interesting graphs, diagrams and timelines peppered through the book, it's a great way to learn more about Shakespeare in a visually stimulating way. This definitely isn't an English textbook. It's a great book to have for reference, I will definitely be using it the next time I'd like to find out more about a play before seeing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is structured in a few sections, focusing on Shakespeare's biography, plays and poetry. The biography section is very interesting to learn what may have influenced Shakespeare as well as the cultural landscape of the time. The book includes lots of mini-sections that provide information on things like the background of tragedies, Shakespeare's collaborators or glossaries of Shakespearean language. Lots of good pub quiz knowledge for a Shakespeare round. As the book is only 250 pages long you can't expect in-depth analysis of all the plays, but the aim of the book is probably to encourage people to read or see the plays for themselves. The plays section of the book is broken up in Comedies, Histories and Tragedies. Whilst all the plays are given a summary at the beginning of the book, Foley and Coates only go into more detail for the most famous plays. In these sections, a summary, key themes and quotes are provided. It's a great way to get a feel for a play before seeing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tone is very informal and friendly throughout, which makes the book an easy read. This is especially good for those who perceive Shakespeare as inaccessible. It's also nice to have a significant amount of information about Shakespeare in one concise location. I'd recommend this book for anyone who wants to know more about Shakespeare and his works as the colloquial language makes the book really easy to read and understand. It's a great starting off point for people who want to get into the plays and have a fuller understanding before watching them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReview by Gillian, Development Assistant\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12442852687930,"sku":"9780099599623","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/7162\/4762\/files\/shakespeare-for-grown-ups-book.jpg?v=1769007284"},{"product_id":"logo-baseball-cap","title":"Shakespeare's Globe Theatre Baseball Cap","description":"\u003cp\u003eCotton, structured six-panel low profile baseball cap, with a pre-curved peak, and embroidered with the Globe logo.

So much of what we say about Shakespeare is either not true, or just not relevant, deflecting us from investigating the challenges of his inconsistencies and flaws. This electrifying new book thrives on revealing, not resolving, the ambiguities of Shakespeare's plays and their changing topicality. It introduces an intellectually, theatrically and ethically exciting writer who engages with intersectionality as much as with Ovid, with economics as much as poetry: who writes in strikingly modern ways about individual agency, privacy, politics, celebrity and sex. It takes us into a world of politicking and copy-catting, as we watch him emulating the blockbusters of Christopher Marlowe and Thomas Kyd, the Spielberg and Tarantino of their day; flirting with and skirting round the cut-throat issues of succession politics, religious upheaval and technological change. The Shakespeare in this book poses awkward questions rather than offering bland answers, always implicating us in working out what it might mean.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEvery purchase supports the work of Shakespeare's Globe.

Smith teaches, informs and guides us to new ways of understanding Shakespeare with a book full of imaginative new ideas told with passion and humour.

I found myself eagerly turning the page to discover how she would approach the next play. The chapters, though, do not stand in isolation as she links them to each other in the process of building her theories and arguments.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eSometimes Smith uses Shakespeare's sources as the way in and discusses the significance of deviations from, and outright revision of, the original story. For one of the plays she cleverly examines it through a single, seemingly minor, character. Several chapters explore Shakespeare's experimentation with genre and in others she probes the question of the plays being autobiographical (or not).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eFor Smith the language of Shakespeare is undeniably beautiful but she argues, convincingly, that the gaps and silences speak volumes too. Lack of clear stage direction or characters missing from the source material interest Smith greatly. She then investigates the implications of such gaps. It is this ambiguity Smith persuasively suggests that allows space for the continual reinterpretation of Shakespeare for different people, in different places, at different times.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eThe treatment of women, racism and colonialisation impact on modern audiences and are understandably addressed by writers on Shakespeare and Smith is no exception. Her contribution to such discussions is fresh and thought provoking. She often widens the focus to talk of the reaction of audiences in other eras too. What would these issues have meant to Shakespeare and his contemporaries for example.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eShakespeare, of course, had his own contentious topics in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Religion and what good governance looked like, for instance, are recurring themes and there are plays that have parallels to the Elizabethan succession question. On how Shakespeare portrayed these concerns Smith is excellent. She asks if we can ever truly know what Shakespeare's attitude was to such things as Catholicism, suicide, hereditary monarchy and so on but also she asks does it matter if we can't? Smith frequently asserts that Shakespeare asks more questions than he answers but for Smith this is by no means a bad thing. On the contrary it adds strongly to her gap and ambiguity arguments.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eThere is consideration also of Shakespeare's craftsmanship. Presenting the plays in the accepted chronological order Smith shines a light on how his writing developed over his career and she has an interesting take on what the latter collaborations might indicate. Again she reminds us of historical context. Shakespeare wrote for the actors around him. Sometimes a move to a different type of character may not have been a deliberate change of style but may simply have resulted from a new player presenting him with opportunities previously unavailable to him. Smith also considers how writing for an indoor playhouse may have influenced the type of plays he wrote.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eThe title of this book talks of how to 'read' Shakespeare but Smith means the word in a wider sense. It is not about words on a page but reading as understanding, interpreting signs, looking at clues to meaning and intent. So each chapter considers how these plays physically appeared on stage. If we only read them we will miss details that would be obvious to an Elizabethan or Jacobean theatre goer, such as the necessity of doubling up of parts. If we fixate on the significance of a character disappearing from view we should remember, Smith tells us, it could just be that the actor is required to be on stage as another character. Smith presents several examples of this to illustrate the care we should take not to assume meaning from such things.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eThe only disappointment for me in this wonderful book is that Smith only covers twenty of the plays.
