Following his magisterial & ingenious re-creations of the lives of Chaucer, Dickens, T. S. Eliot, William Blake, & Sir Thomas More, Ackroyd delivers his crowning achievement w/ this DEFINITVE & IMAGINATIVE biographical MASTERPIECE. Thousands of books have been written about Shakespeare, but none has borne Ackroyd's unique & accessible stamp. His method is to position the playwright in the context of his world, exploring everything from Stratford's humble town to its fields of wildflowers; discerning influences on the plays from unexpected quarters; & entering London w/ the playwright as modern theater, as we know it, is just beginning to emerge. Writing as though we are observing Shakespeare & his circle of friends, patrons, managers, & fellow actors & writers, Ackroyd is able to see Shakespeare's genius from within, so we feel that Ackroyd the writer merges with Shakespeare the writer, the poet, the man; & thus w/ great sympathy & clarity we experience the way in which Shakespeare worked. Ackroyd has used his skill, his extraordinary knowledge, & his historical intuition to craft this major full-scale book on one of the most towering figures of the English language. * HIGH PRAISE: "Ackroyd brings to his biographical reading the IMAGINATIVE INSIGHTS of a gifted poet & novelist, along w/ the passions of a scholar. VIVID & CAPACIOUS, a study worthy of its subject." -Bryce Christensen, Booklist (Starred Review) "The great strength of Acjkroyd's book is the depth of his IMMERSION in the culture of Shakespeare's age & the sense he gives of Shakespeare as the product of that extraordinary moment in time. His feeling for the role of theater in Elizabethan London, 'a city where dramatic spectacles became the primary means of understanding reality,' seems to come from an impressively wide reading of Shakespeare's dramatic & poetic contemporaries. His judgments about the work itself are sometimes ingenious, occasionally eccentric. Immersion in Ackroyd's biography gives one a feeling that one has lived for a brief time in Shakespeare's world." -Ron Rosenbaum, Publishers Weekly * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Protean scholar & man-of-letters, PETER ACKROYD is the author of "London: The Biography" & "Albion: The Origins of the English Imagination", acclaimed biographies of T.S. Eliot, Dickens, Blake, & Sir Thomas More, & several successful novels. He has won the Whitbread Book Award for Biography, the Royal Society of Literature's William Heinemann Award, the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, the Somerset Maugham Award, & the South Bank Award for Literature.
