Bevington's Shakespeare and Biography is a learned and engaging account * Jack Lynch, Times Literary Supplement *
This is probably the best and fairest book to date on Shakespeare and biography* Rene Weis, Around the Globe *
With references to all the biographical studies of Shakespeare from the seventeenth century onwards, Shakespeare and Biography is very rewarding and encourages readers to find our more about Shakespeare as a person with specific interest on his sexual life, religious choices, and political views. * Gul Kurtulus, The Sixteenth Century Journal *
