Never before has there been one volume that gives both a thorough and careful account of the life of William Shakespeare and a worthy consideration of his art. Much more than a conventional biography of a great literary figure, this is a lively telling of the bard’s life until the age of thirty. With a keen attentiveness to everyday life in Renaissance England, Fraser places us in the varied scenes of Shakespeare’s life, schools, farms, meals, shops, and festivities. This full picture of the playwright’s environment and mental universe gives the reader unique opportunity to understand the man and his work. Students, scholars, and casual readers will all find a new way of looking at the writer they thought they already knew. ‘’ This is a puzzle, within a mystery, all wrapped in an enigma.” (Winston Churchill)1988 Columbia University Press2001 Books on Tape
