"A vast shelf of biographies of the Bard exists, but this is the book I would take with me to a desert island" -- Jay Parini * Guardian *
"A work of wonderful erudition that can be read as an accessible introduction to the social and political milieu from which Shakespeare emerged, and as an elegant guide to the astonishing poems and plays themselves" * New Statesman *
"Both insightful literary criticism and a gripping piece of psychological detective work … Stephen Greenblatt has few equals as a Shakespeare scholar" * Metro *
"A delight, full of new insights and infused with a rich understanding of precisely why Shakespeare’s writing gives us such lasting pleasure … quite superb" -- John Simpson * Sunday Times 'Books of the Year' *
"Thought-provoking … full of unexpected touches … beautifully written" -- Andrew Marr * Daily Telegraph *
