  Presents an exploration of both Shakespeare's works and his age. Focusing on six recurring prejudices in Shakespeare's plays - such as misogyny, elitism, distrust of effeminacy, and racism, this title examines how Shakespeare and his contemporaries treated them. It reveals a playwright constantly exploiting and exploring his own personal stances.
