At once immensely erudite and extraordinarily accessible, Maguire shows how broken-hearts, dysfunctional families, domestic violence, and other personal and social problems, was all grist for Shakespeare's theatrical imagination. Alongside unflinching criticism of a world-gone-wrong, Shakespeare also offered his audiences solace and hope.
