• Sommario/riassunto: Shakespeare's plays were immensely popular in their own day - so why do we refuse to think of them as mass entertainment? In 'Pleasing Everyone', Jeffrey Knapp opens our eyes to the uncanny resemblance between Renaissance drama and the incontrovertibly mass medium of Golden-Age Hollywood cinema.
