"A universal master whose achievement is timeless, Shakespeare is nevertheless inseparable from his age - the brilliant pageant of Elizabethan England." This pocket sized book demonstrates the truth of this back cover blurb, and does so in style. This is a souvenir style little volume, printed on thick glossy paper and overflowing with rich color illustrations, most of contemporary works of art. Beginning at the beginning, with Will's early life in Stratford, the text proceeds to cover Elizabethan customs and traditions, life in London, the theater and its practices, and Elizabeth I herself. The last third is an appendix of articles about the treatment of W. S. and his works over the centuries. A delightful resource that puts Shakespeare firmly in his place - and time!
