Her retellings of all thirty-six First Folio plays are superbly lucid. It is not Ms. Chute's purpose to provide a substitute for these immortal comedies, tragedies, and histories; rather she seeks to provide the modern reader with essential insight into Shakespeare's narrative genius, clarifying the intricacies of plot and sharply delineating a host of characters, major and minor alike. This she does with surpassing grace and unobtrusive scholarship, closely following the sequence of onstage action and illuminating it with choice quotations and perceptive comments. \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e has termed this work \"a beautifully done job.\"Introduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Comedies\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Comedy of Errors\u003cbr\u003eLove's Labour's Lost\u003cbr\u003eThe Taming of the Shrew\u003cbr\u003eThe Two Gentlemen of Verona\u003cbr\u003eA Midsummer Night's Dream\u003cbr\u003eThe Merchant of Venice\u003cbr\u003eThe Merry Wives of Windsor\u003cbr\u003eAs You Like It\u003cbr\u003eMuch Ado About Nothing\u003cbr\u003eTwelfth Night\u003cbr\u003eAll's Well That Ends Well\u003cbr\u003eMeasure for Measure\u003cbr\u003eThe Winter's Tale\u003cbr\u003eThe Tempest\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Tragedies\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTitus Andronicus\u003cbr\u003eRomeo and Juliet\u003cbr\u003eJulius Caesar\u003cbr\u003eHamlet\u003cbr\u003eTroilus and Cressida\u003cbr\u003eOthello\u003cbr\u003eMacbeth\u003cbr\u003eKing Lear\u003cbr\u003eTimon of Athens\u003cbr\u003eAntony and Cleopatra\u003cbr\u003eCoriolanus\u003cbr\u003eCymbeline\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Histories\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKing John\u003cbr\u003eRichard II\u003cbr\u003eHenry IV, Part One\u003cbr\u003eHenry IV, Part Two\u003cbr\u003eHenry V\u003cbr\u003eHenry VI, Part One\u003cbr\u003eHenry VI, Part Two\u003cbr\u003eHenry VI, Part Three\u003cbr\u003eRichard III\u003cbr\u003eHenry VIII\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarchette Chute\u003c\/b\u003e (1909–1994) was an American writer best known for her biographies of British literary giants, including \u003ci\u003eGeoffrey Chaucer of England\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eShakespeare of London\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBen Jonson of Westminster. \u003c\/i\u003eShe was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and president of the PEN American Center.","brand":"Plume","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46305391771877,"sku":"NP9780452010611","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780452010611.jpg?v=1767737369","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/stories-from-shakespeare-isbn-9780452010611","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
