| Summary: | "Who was William Shakespeare, really? The Life of William Shakespeare is a fascinating and wide-ranging exploration of Shakespeare's life and works, focusing on often neglected literary and historical contexts: what he read, who he worked with as an author and an actor, and how these various collaborations may have affected his writing. Written by an eminent Shakespearean scholar and experienced theatre reviewer, it pays particular attention to Shakespeare's theatrical contemporaries and the ways in which they influenced his writing, offering an intriguing account of the life and work of the great poet-dramatist, structured around the idea of memory."--Publisher's description. |
