Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Conscientious [and] full of good sense. The reader will not go wrong with it, as with most books about Shakespeare." --A.L. Rowse, author of "Shakespeare the Man"

"In this biography, Wilson has marshaled all the known facts about the people he knew and places he lived, and woven them all together into a convincing, readable account of the elusive man from Stratford-upon-Avon. Much of this book reads like a detective story...[Wilson's] willingness to investigate areas that others have overlooked pays rich dividends." --"Library Journal"

"Ian Wilson's absorbing biography investigates the diverse theories about the historical Shakespeare.... Steers a trim middle course between the scholarly and the popular and is notable for its scrupulous attention to the pros and cons of a host of theories. The research (unusual in a book of this sort) is up to the minute.... Impressive." --Robert Taylor, "The Boston Globe"

"A splendid, fresh, significant work on Shakespeare. [Wilson's] prose is a wonderful reward in itself." --Park Honan, author of "Jane Austen: A Life" and "Author's Lives"

Reseña del editor:

A thorough and balanced chronicle of the facts of William Shakespeare's life as well as a tour de force of literary investigation: Wilson brings excitement, intrigue, and a keen sense of the dramatic to his exploration of the life of the Bard.
