Thomas Phillip BrackshawFor Dr. Brackshaw, this book has been a life-long labor of love that began in 1966 when he was first introduced to Shakespeare's work. From that moment, these plays spoke to him in a way that no other literature could. After writing a dissertation onthe tragedies and earning a Ph.D. from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, he taught at several eastern and mid-western colleges and universities. This book is the culmination of those years of teaching, researching, and learning about the rich insights available in the major plays. Read More Read Less
