Shakespeare's Sources: An Illustrated Introduction

By Simon Webb

The ideas for Shakespeare's plays did not just spring from his head fully formed: there had to be some reading and research before the playwright put pen to paper.In this highly accessible illustrated book, Simon Webb looks at how the man from Stratford 'borrowed' ideas from a wide range of sources - from the Bible and the Greek and Roman classics, to travellers' tales and even plays written by his rivals.
