In the spring of 1553 three ships sailed north-east from London into uncharted waters. The scale of their ambition was breathtaking. Drawing on the latest navigational science & the new spirit of enterprise & discovery sweeping the Tudor capital, they sought a northern passage to Asia & its riches. The success of the expedition depended on its two leaders: Sir Hugh Willoughby, a brave gentleman soldier, & Richard Chancellor, a brilliant young scientist & practical man of the sea. When their ships became separated in a storm, each had to fend for himself. Their fates were sharply divided. One returned to Engl&, to recount extraordinary tales of the imperial court of Tsar Ivan the Terrible. The tragic, mysterious story of the other two ships has to be pieced together through the surviving captain`s log book, after he & his crew became lost & trapped by the advancing Arctic winter. This long-neglected endeavour was one of the boldest in British history, & its impact was profound. Although the `merchant adventurers` failed to reach China as they had hoped, their achievements would lay the foundations for England`s expansion on a global stage. As James Evans` vivid account shows, their voyage also makes for a gripping story of daring, discovery, tragedy & adventure. ...

The Wordsworth Classics' Shakespeare Series presents a newly-edited sequence of William Shakespeare's works. The textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal. The Merchant of Venice is one of Shakespeare's most popular comedies, but it remains deeply controversial. The text may seem anti-Semitic; yet repeatedly, in performance, it has revealed a contrasting nature. Shylock, though vanquished in the law-court, often triumphs in the theatre. In his intensity he can dominate the play, challenging abrasively its romantic & lyrical affirmations. What results is a bitter-sweet drama. Though The Merchant of Venice offers some of the traditional pleasures of romantic comedy, it also exposes the operations of prejudice. Thus Shakespeare remains our contemporary. ...
