If This Be Magic: The Unlikely Art of Shakespeare in Translation

'I've just finished, and loved, If this Be Magic. It's a fresh and vivid way to think about Shakespeare; it's so witty and knowledgeable, so alive to the ways in which language resists reduction. It feels like attending the most fascinating lecture of the term; like learning made swift and sharp and generous' KATHERINE RUNDELL

'A wonderful book, erudite and enjoyable. I love learning new things while having an excellent time. Danny is a brilliant writer' CATHY RENTZENBRINK
