About the Book:
HARD TO FIND BOOK, only a very limited number of
copies are still available.
This fascinating introduction to the playwright begins with a description of the world in 1600 — plague, famine and war — "yet out of this turbulent world came one of the finest, most highly-respected and best-loved writers of all time". At the forefront of the English Renaissance Shakespeare began his career as a stagehand and then an actor, giving personal readings to Elizabeth I in her private chambers. Many of his plays have been turned into films, and he is still quoted today.
