Title: Pauline Kiernan's Most Outrageous Misinterpretations
Product review: This book appears to be well-researched and accurate if you've never read any of these plays. Some of the puns are obvious enough, but Kiernan really goes over the top on the rest(mostly taking passages out if context), even going so far as to suggest that Iago and Roderigo have a homosexual relationship. The book is self-consciously vulgar, attempting to surprise rather than to inform. Sure, Shakespeare had an incredibly filthy mind, but it seems that Kiernan has one far filthier.
