Could be read with profit and pleasure by any theatregoer. (Steven Poole, The Guardian )

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Brilliant, 16 Jun 2009

By	Mr. Adam Alcock "adamalcock2" (Staffs, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
