Stack of Shakespeare booksHere is your gateway to reviews of Shakespeare-related books. Featured here will be biographies as well as Shakespearean commentaries, ancillary histories, and Shakespearecentric theater biographies, histories, and criticisms.

I invite you to share some of your favorite Shakespearecentric and theater-related books. There's a lot of reading available out there and, as you can see from our own library, I'm never going to get to it all. E-mail editorial@shakespeareances.com.
