Shakespeare: The World as Stage by Bill Bryson

4.0

Entertaining and educational read. Bryson did a nice job pulling together an accurate view of the time period and drawing conclusions of Shakespeare's life based thereon. However, since he was writing this as part of an external series, it doesn't live up to the brilliance of many of Bryson's other works. Nonetheless, it was fascinating to learn about Shakespeare's life, something about which I know very little. Even more interesting to learn how very little the world at large actually knows about the man.
