Description:

What better subject for a novel than William Shakespeare, the most celebrated writer of all time? Stephanie Cowell, an established writer of historical fiction, recreates Elizabethan England and conjures a compelling life of Shakespeare from his youth in Stratford to his early artistic and personal development in London where he wrote the plays and sonnets that put him on the path to literary immortality. Cowell works from a solid foundation of historical research but glides beyond that research with a novelist's eye and imagination into a clearly drawn chronicle of the events, situations, and relationships that formed the Shakespeare whose work is still vibrant, even after 400 years.
