A pretty darn decent overview of the Bard for a newcomer or amateur fan: this work includes concise but researched synopses of each play and poem, alongside historical, academic and textual notes. It also remembers the crucial mantra that Shakespeare was written to be performed, with an examination of acting styles, reviews of notable film and audio adaptations, and interviews with a dozen-or-so leading Shakespearean actors of the 20th century (Ian McKellen, Harriet Walter and Adrian Lester among them). Even as a more-than-amateur fan of Shakespeare, I found this to be a well-written work. (

Andrew Dickson – The Rough Guide to Shakespeare (2005) – a reference work and more, which could hardly be bettered, strongly recommended to all students and playgoers; includes information on film and audio versions, also recommendations as to which is the best fully annotated text of each work, though these latter features are already somewhat outdated. (from Jonathan Bate, http://www.rscshakespeare.co.uk/readingroom/Biographies.html)

See http://www.rscshakespeare.co.uk/room.html for an excellent list of reading recommendations.
