book&volume's main focus is classic English literature, particularly the literature of the Elizabethan and early Jacobean periods - and the periods themselves. book&volume is the only Australasian bookseller that pays comprehensive attention to an era that produced an inspired endeavour in writing, performance, music, philosophy, science, etc, that directly affects and connects to our present day.
Browse our range of books, period music, audio books and DVDs - to whet, or increase, your appetite for this period. As well as standard books and texts published by the usual suspects, we also stock an array of material not readily available in Australia – from the seriously academic to the downright irreverent.
There is life in the Bard and his contemporaries, and we are sure they'd agree that they weren't meant to be stodgy!

Director Gregory Doran's modern-dress Hamlet for the Royal Shakespeare Company features David Tennant's thrilling, mercurial, and often very funny stars central performance. This visually sumptuous screen version, filmed on location with the original stage cast, captures the atmosphere and excitement of the critically acclaimed production. Patrick Stewart won an Olivier Award for his performance as Claudius, King of Denmark. Penny Downie plays Hamlet's mother, Gertrude, and Mariah Gales is the tragic Ophelia. Edward Bennett is Ophelia's avenging brother Laertes, and Oliver Ford Davies takes the role of their father Polonius.
Tennant won a great deal of praise and accolades for his role in the Shakespeare play with The Guardian referring to the Scot as, 'the greatest Hamlet of his generation'.

'Herewith a few kind words:- The concept of Classical Comics is truly inspirational ... The stage and page are brought vividly to life. The artwork of Jon Haward is both dramatically compelling and beautifully illustrative. His pictures illuminate the words to perfection and bring these great works leaping to mind and eye. This format is immediate, vital, energetic and engaging. Highly recommended for any student of Shakespeare!' - Derek Jacobi, October 2009

'All things in common nature should produce
Without sweat or endeavour: treason, felony,
Sword, pike, knife, gun, or need of any engine,
Would I not have; but nature should bring forth,
Of its own kind, all foison, all abundance,
To feed my innocent people'.

purpose that the world can say against it; and
therefore never flout at me for what I have said
against it; for man is a giddy thing, and this is my
conclusion'
