Military Misreadings of Shakspere by Thomas Seccombe
This reprint of Thomas Seccombes highly successful 1880 book will resonate with all who have an interest in observing life military and otherwise. The amusingly illustrated perils of being a Victorian soldier and the appropriately selected Shakespearian quotes will delight and amuse the modern reader.
“This book is fun; it throws an amusing light on the British Army as the British Empire approached the apogee of its power.. This short book should make a colourful addition to the home of anyone remotely interested in military history and Shakespeare; and I wish it success” General Sir Jack Deverell KCB OBE DL
Paul Cordle served in the Grenadier Guards in the 1960s and 1970s before turning to business. His has an avid interest in history. Since coming across and buying a tattered and, as it turned out, rare copy of Seccombe’s 1880 book almost 50 years ago he has been been keen to bring it to a wider audience.
