Understanding Shakespeare's England: A Companion for the American Reader

Rating:
Summary: Invaluable reference for English students (readable, too!)
Review: This work, separated into chapters by topic, is beautifully organized for research about Shakespeare's times and places, people and customs. Straightforward and invaluable for its content, this book is a must-have for any middle- or high-school English teacher (xeroxes of certain sections would be wonderful handouts!).
