Art reflects life...

A highly readable study of Shakespeare, his plays, and his times. Rowse brings together what is known of Shakespeare and the Elizabethan era while referencing where he can some of his plays and poetry - and, I believe, he does it brilliantly. He is neither dry nor boring but thoroughly enjoyable. Purists might not care for his style, but he is entirely plausible and entertaining without being outrageous. His knowledge and respect for Shakespeare is evident. For those hungering to peel away the mystery of the great playwright, this is any excellent read. If art reflects life, we can certainly find some of Shakespeare in his own work. A favorite.
