A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare: 1599 (Repost)

James Shapiro, "A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare: 1599"
English | 2005-10-18 | ISBN: 0060088737 | 416 pages | PDF | 4.76 mb

The year 1599 was crucial in the Bard's artistic evolution as well as in the historical upheavals he lived through. That year's output—Henry V, Julius Caesar, As You Like It and (debatably) Hamlet—not only spans a shift in artistic direction and theatrical taste, but also echoes the intrigues of Queen Elizabeth's court and the downfall of her favorite, the Earl of Essex. Like other Shakespeare biographers, Columbia professor Shapiro notes the importance of mundane events in Shakespeare's art, starting here with the construction of the Globe Theatre and the departure of Will Kemp, the company's popular comic actor.
