Download or read book The Shakespeare Miscellany written by Ben Crystal and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2005-09-29 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compilation, in the tradition of the Victorian miscellany, gathers together essential facts and fascinating insights into the plays and poems, the man behind them (insofar as this is known), and the context in which he worked. Put together by an actor and a linguist - the pair who brought you 'Shakespeare's Words' (25000 copies sold to date) - it will be quirky, illuminating and endlessly interesting. Topics covered include lost plays, what he would have studied at school, Shakespeare's pronunciation, why the Globe burned down and the difference between a Folio and a Quarto.
