Description
Bill Bryson's biography of William Shakespeare unravels the complexities surrounding the life of our greatest poet and playwright. Despite his enduring fame, Shakespeare's enigmatic persona remains shrouded in mystery.
From his birth in Stratford to the bequest of his second best bed to his wife, Bryson examines the scant facts known about the Bard, separating myth from reality. He takes us on a journey through the streets of Elizabethan and Jacobean England, exploring the stories, half-truths, and downright lies that have accumulated over the centuries.
With a steady hand and his trademark wit, Bryson introduces a host of engaging characters, celebrating the magic of Shakespeare's language and revealing the details of the bard's life, works, and legacy.
