Book Reviews of Shakespeare: The World as Stage (Eminent Lives)
Book Review: Shakespeare by Bill Bryson
Summary: 3 Stars
Bryson starts out by telling us that very little is known about Shakespeare, including what he looked like and where he was at any given time, and then continues with a considerable number of pages anyway. However, his coverage of the age, and England and London of the time, is interesting and informative. His writing style keeps things from getting dull.
Summary of Shakespeare: The World as Stage (Eminent Lives)
William Shakespeare, the most celebrated poet in the English language, left behind nearly a million words of text, but his biography has long been a thicket of wild supposition arranged around scant facts. With a steady hand and his trademark wit, Bill Bryson sorts through this colorful muddle to reveal the man himself. His Shakespeare is like no one else's-the beneficiary of Bryson's genial nature, his engaging skepticism, and a gift for storytelling unrivaled in our time.
