Death by Shakespeare – Audiobook Online

Death by Shakespeare is a literary fiction book by author Kathryn Harkup.
William Shakespeare found dozens of different ways to kill his characters. How realistic are these deaths, and does Shakespeare have enough knowledge to back them up?

In Bard’s time, death was a part of everyday life. Plague, plague, and public executions were common, and the chances of seeing a dead or dying body on the way home from the theater were high. A time of great scientific progress. Shakespeare kept pace with advances in anatomy and medicine, and he incorporated the latest scientific discoveries into his work, from blood circulation to treatments for syphilis. He certainly doesn’t shy away from portraying the reality of death on stage, brutally mundane and absurdly spectacular.

Elizabeth London provides the setting for Death by Shakespeare, as Kathryn Harkup turns her lucid scientific eye to Bard and his characters die manifold and creative.
Death by Shakespeare will tell you all this and more in a roller coaster of Elizabethan carnage, poison, swordsmanship, and bloodshed, with what a death would be like?
