It asserts that numerous characters and events were drawn from the author's life, and puts faces to the names of Jaques, Touchstone, Feste, Jessica, the 'Dark Lady' and others. Steven Sohmer explores aspects of Shakespeare's plays and sonnets that have been hitherto overlooked or misinterpreted in an effort to better understand the man and his work. If you've ever wondered who Pigrogromitus was, or why Jaques spies on Touchstone and Audrey - or what the famous riddle M.O.A.I. stands for - this is the book for you. 330 8 $aAn accessible, enojyable, occasionally speculative study based on a vast amount of research into some of Shakespeare's more uninterpretable moments. 606 $aLiterature$2mup 606 $aLiterature & Literary Studies$2bicssc 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Shakespeare$2bisach 606 $aEnglish$2thema 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aAs You Like It. 610 $aM.O.A.I. 610 $aShakespeare. 610 $aThe Merchant of Venice. 610 $aTwelfth Night. 615 7$aLiterature 615 7$aLiterature & Literary Studies 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Shakespeare 615 7$aEnglish 676 $a822.33 700 $aSohmer$b Steve$g(Stephen T.),$0851517 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996543161803316 996 $aReading Shakespeare's mind$91901131 997 $aUNISA
