Bill Bryson's Shakespeare pairs one of history's most
celebrated writers with one of the most popular writers in the
English language today. In this elegant, updated, illustrated
edition, the superstitions, academic discoveries and myths
surrounding the life of one of the world's greatest poets are
evoked through a series of full-color paintings, drawings,
portraits, documents and photographs. Bryson also discusses
the recent discoveries of the Cobbe portrait and the remains of
Shakespeare's first theatre in Shoreditch.The centuries of
mysteries, half-truths and downright lies about Shakespeare
are deftly explored, as Bryson draws a picture that includes
many aspects of the poet's life, making sense of the man
behind the masterpieces. In a journey down the streets of
Shakespeare's time, Bryson brings to life the hubbub of
Elizabethan England and delights in details of his folios and
quartos, poetry and plays. He celebrates the glory of
Shakespeare's language and his ceaseless inventiveness,
which gave us hundreds of now indispensable phrases,
images and words.
