Shakespeare in 100 objects, treasures from the Victoria and Albert Museum

"Within the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the world's leading museum of art and design, there lies and extraordinary wealth of material relating to a single individual: the playwright William Shakespeare. This book presents a fascinating selection of one hundred objects - often surprising, always delightful - chosen by the museum's curators for the insight each affords into the world of Shakespeare and his plays ... The result is a book that not only underlines Shakespeare's infinite variety, but also reveals his astonishing legacy in material things, a substantial pageant that has not faded."--Page [2] of cover"List of objects": pages 311-321
