Description

Explore the dramatic development of William Shakespeare during the final years of Elizabeth's reign.

Originally published in 1933 and republished in 1958, this classic study uses a plain narrative to imagine the life of Shakespeare. The text is supported by historical evidence regarding the stage of that period.

By examining the immediate interests of his viewers, this work explains how his writing responded to the world around him.
