New. 0465092659. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request ***-*** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT-352 pages--Interior text is clean, tight, and unmarked. Pages are intact and tight to the spine. Very slight curling to bottom edges; else as new. From a review by Trygve Thoreson in "Booklist": "Omnivorous filmmaker, author, and historian Wood devours yet another monumental subject in this illustrated biography of William Shakespeare. One might expect a cursory run-through of familiar schoolbook legends, but not so--Wood has crafted a book of substance and originality. Combining a wealth of scholarship and a bit of his own sleuthing, Wood presents a portrait of Shakespeare as very much a child of Stratford, a poet for whom the people of the village and countryside of his youth were always a part of his conscious, creative life. We are also given a convincing portrait of the artist's struggles in the unpredictable world of the Elizabethan theater. Wood does not shy away from amateur speculation, either--as when he offers up his own candidate for Shakespeare's mysterious 'Dark Lady. ' A highly readable, informative, and artfully illustrated volume for bardolaters and common readers alike."--with a bonus offer--;
