Description:A specially commissioned biography of William Shakespeare by the author of "Ungentle Shakespeare" .William Shakespeare bequeathed a legacy of words unequalled in the history of Western literature, yet historical records provide only the barest of details about his life. As this wonderfully illustrated volume shows, there are clues throughout his plays, poems and sonnets to what he experienced as he made his progress from a Warwickshire market town to fame and fortune on the London stage: how the glover’s son from Stratford-upon-Avon acquired the knowledge and learning that made his plays so intellectually rich; what he did between 1585 and 1592, the so-called 'lost years', and how close he was to his family. By combining extracts from Shakespeare’s work with a wide range of other sources, particularly eyewitness accounts, Katherine Duncan-Jones brings us closer to the man – and to the sights and sounds of Elizabethan and Jacobean England – than ever before.Typeset at The Folio Society in Baskerville with Helvetica display.Quarter bound in buckram with printed paper sides designed by Chris Wadden.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
