Shakespeare. The world as a stage. Bill Bryson.
- Cover of Shakespeare
Shakespeare. The world as a stage. Bill Bryson. 2007. ISBN 9780061673696. This completes my task to read everything Bill Bryson has written so far. A book on the life of Shakespeare is always going to be a small book, since so little was written down about him. Bryson does a good job of organising and relating what is known, what is surmised and what is made up about “The Bard”. This is a quick, easy read I enjoyed. Yet the book seemed to be missing much I could bite on – which is more likely due to the subject than the author. I was intrigued by the whole story wrto debunking Francis Bacon as WS with its genesis in the nutty thoughts of a US spinster, who seemed gifted at bending influential peoples ears and wills.
