by Theodore B. Leinwand

Book Overview

The Great William is the first book to explore how seven renowned writers-Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Keats, Virginia Woolf, Charles Olson, John Berryman, Allen Ginsberg, and Ted Hughes-wrestled with Shakespeare in the very moments when they were reading his work.
