What reading level is An Introduction to Shakespeare book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In practically every case Shakespeare so developed the story that the fiction became essentially his own ; while the poetic quality of the verse, the development of character, and the heightening of dramatic effect, which, he built upon it, left no more of the old play in sight than the statue shows of the bare metal rods upon which the sculptor molds his clay.
Seven histories go back to the earlier plays on the kings of England. The Second and Third Parts of Henry VI are taken from two earlier... plays often called the First and Second Contentions (between the two noble houses of York and Lancaster). The First and Second parts of Henry IV, and Henry V, are all three an expansion of a cruder production, the Famous Victories of Henry V. Richard III is based upon the True Tragedie of Richard, Duke of York; King John upon the Troublesome Reigne of John, King of England, the latter undoubtedly the best of the sources of Shakespeare's Histories.
King Leir and His Daughters is the only extant play which is known to have formed the basis of a Shakespearean tragedy.
