All the Worlds a Stage: Speeches by Dorothy Boux
As an introduction to Shakespeare, this presentation of extracts from Shakespeare's greatest plays and sonnets should capture the imagination of parents and children alike. Shakespeare presents a gamut of human emotions - love, humour, murder, sorcery, violence and greatness. Each text is stylistically distinct, and the skilful use of calligraphy heightens and underscores the phonetic and dramatic qualities of Shakespeare's verse. The book explores four themes: young love, laughter and innocence; the dark and the sinister in human nature; war; and the choices facing us in life, as represented by the three caskets in "A Merchant of Venice".
Calligrapher and Illustrator Dorothy Boux has penned several books for Shepheard-Walwyn: The Eternal One, Images of Christmas, The Golden Thread, All the World's A Stage and Woman: A Unique Tribute. Dorothy started drawing at an early age, but fell in love with calligraphy later in life. She ran a gallery on Harrow Hill where some of her earlier work was printed on an old handpress. She continues to exhibit her calligraphy and illustrations at craft fairs.
