Full description for Shakespeare

  • A first-time-in-paperback reissue, this full-fledged biography takes on all of the famous Shakespearean debates, from whether or not Shakespeare actually wrote his plays to speculation regarding his sexuality to the mysterious curse he set upon his own grave. Wilson's revelation that the Bard associated with figures of the Catholic Church, at a time when such acts could have brought him death, is a major literary discovery. This lively and provocative book weaves together the most complete, objective, and readable account of Shakespeare's life we have ever had.
