![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What was London theater like during that period of history? What were other poets and playwrights doing? What was Queen Elizabeth up to? Even, how much beer did people drink at that time? Bryson lets us know. Thus when he writes a chapter called "The Lost Years: 1585-1592," a period in which nothing at all is known about Shakespeare's life, Bryson can stretch it to 20 pages, and it is as interesting as any other chapter in this book.īecause so little is known about the great writer, the entire book is more about his times than his life. This he did in 2007 with “Shakespeare: The World as Stage,” part of the Eminent Lives series of brief biographies of notable individuals.īryson has had a successful career writing brilliantly not just about his various subjects but about an array of more-or-less related subjects, anything that takes his fancy, in other words. Precious little is known about the life of William Shakespeare, which makes Bill Bryson the ideal person to write Shakespeare's biography. ![]()
