The Connell Guide to Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra Book

"If we had to burn all Shakespeare's plays bar one - luckily we don't - I'd save Antony and Cleopatra," said W. H. Auden.

In this new study the eminent Shakespearean scholar Adrian Poole explains why this play is both so special and so different from the four commonly regarded as Shakespeare's greatest tragedies: Hamlet, King Lear, Othello and Macbeth.
