The Drama Handbook: A Guide to Reading Plays

What I needed for university.

Only slight water damage on back cover

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.
