Cambridge Companion to Brecht
It would have definitely surprised me if this book had taught me 101 things I didn't know about Shakespeare considering the lengths to which I studied and read whilst at school and at uni. (At uni I chose an entire module on Shakespeare one term, in addition to a Renaissance module the previous year. Ha.) But having said that, I did actually find out a lot more; though more so contextually speaking than biographically speaking. It was also interesting to read how the legacy of his work has impacted upon our recent past. The book as a whole was nicely laid out in bitesize chunks within broader sections, so easy to digest. At times the humour was a little forced, and the American style was a tiny barrier for an English reader. All in all, has reminded me of why my firmly cemented desire to read all of Shakespeare's works is on my bucket list.
