Publisher Description

Among Shakespeare's many biographers none brings to his subject more passion and feeling for the creative act than Anthony Burgess.

He breathes life into Shakespeare the man and invigorates his times.

His portrait of the age builds upon an almost personal tenderness for Shakespeare and his contemporaries (especially Ben Jonson), and on a profound sense of literary and theatrical history.

Anthony Burgess's well-known delight in language infuses his own writing about Shakespeare's works.

And in the verve of his biography he conveys the energy of the Elizabethan age.
