Death By Shakespeare, Kathryn Harkup, expert on the more gruesome side of science, turns her expertise to William Shakespeare and the creative methods he used to kill off his characters.
What The Reviewers Say
Harkup leaves no stone unturned in her immensely thorough and compelling distillation of the Bard's work.
...intriguing.
Harkup’s entertaining Death by Shakespeare: Snakebites, stabbings and broken hearts uses Shakespeare as the lens to understand the physiology of death in pre-modern times. She is relentlessly, and sometimes illuminatingly, literal.
For fans of the Bard, Death by Shakespeare: Snakebites, Stabbings, and Broken Hearts is the book they didn’t know they always wanted to read.
