Description
"In Shakespeare Behind Bars, Trounstine, who spent 10 years teaching at a Massachusetts women's prison, focuses on six inmates who, each in her own way, discover in the power of Shakespeare a way to transcend the painful constraints of incarceration. Shakespeare Behind Bars is an important story about the redemptive influence of art and education. Shakespeare Behind Bars was originally published in cloth by St. Martin's Press in 2001. This paperback edition includes a new foreword by the author that will inspire all teachers who work with students others have deemed unteachable. A new afterword updates readers on the prison's arts program -- and the author herself -- since 2001. Book jacket."--Jacket.
