Book Review of Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare

Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare
reviewed on + 10 more book reviews


This book compares Shakespeare's plays with what was happening to him personally and in the world politically at the time he was writing. It gets a bit fanciful -- but them I find all literary criticism a bit fanciful. It is an easy historical read, and added to my enjoyment of his work.
