Why do Shakespeare's works continue to exert so strong an influence and have such lasting appeal? What do they have to offer modern readers and play-goers? The author seeks to answer these questions in this wide-ranging critical survey of Shakespeare's career as a poet and playwright. The result of Stanley Wells' lifetime work on Shakespeare's plays and poems, this study aims to offer both a useful introduction to the writer and a companion for those renewing their acquaintance with his work either as readers or theatre-goers.
