Product Description


Details:
Who was William Shakespeare? How did the rude groom from Stratford grow up to be the greatest poet the world has known? Not for a generation, since the late Anthony Burgesss SHAKESPEARE (1970), has there been anything approaching a popular, mainstream biography of the greatest & most celebrated writer.

Yet Shakespeares life was as colourful, varied & dramatic as his works: the Warwickshire country boy who disappeared for seven years before fetching up in London as an apprentice actor...whose fellow players could scarcely keep up with the plays he turned out for them...who rapidly became a favourite at the court of Elizabeth I...and returned to Stratford a prosperous gentleman, proud to realise his fathers dream of a family coat of arms, before his death at 52.

Ideal for:
Anthony Holden brilliantly interleaves the poets own words with the known facts to breathe new life into a story never before told in such absorbing detail.

This paperback book has 400 pages & measures: 19.8 x 12.6 x 2.2cm.
