Format:Paperback
Like many students, I was dubious about a "guide to reading" but reading the introduction soon put my mind at rest. This book is written in an accessible style that is engaging and also interesting. I learnt things about plays I'd read ('Hamlet', Ibsen's 'A Doll's House') and why the Quarto was called thus. Loads more interesting drama/lit facts written in a way that makes you want to read it from cover to cover rather than the usual "flick through" style of text book.
I ordered Lennard's Poetry Handbook hours after I'd received this text.
Five stars.
