Book Review and Awards

Choice OAT, Required reading for anyone interested in Shakespeare's life or in how literary biography gets written. There's no better place to turn for distinguishing facts and traditions from more imaginative accounts of how Shakespeare became Shakespeare. Graham Holderness is a terrific guide and a talented writer.' (James Shapiro, author of 1599 and Professor of English at Columbia University )
