Entries also explore Shakespeare’s plays, poems, and sonnets in the context of his life and the world of Elizabethan and Jacobean theatre, and reveal his sources and inspirations, further enriching your experience of his work, be it on the page, stage, or screen.

Shakespeare- his life and works is the perfect gift for existing Shakespeare fans, and anyone looking to find out more about the work of the world’s most celebrated playwright.
