Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare   Stephen Greenblatt
“Biography” of Shakespeare. Because almost nothing is known of his life, the book is filled with phrases like, “may have,” “it’s reasonable to assume,” and “if we follow this line of speculation,” all of which made me very uncomfortable. Enjoyed and learned from the actual history of Elizabethan England. All the analysis of the plays got a little tedious. Greenblatt is a very good writer, his research is excellent and his prose even beautiful.
