![]() ![]() Oxford English Dictionary endorses the spelling Shakspere. That Shakespeare names are written with different spellings throughout his life and after.He also discusses the theories suggesting that Shakespeare’s works were written by someone else, dismissing them as ludicrous. Starting by presenting the paucity of facts, he goes on to sketch the life of the worlds greatest playwright, from Stratford to London and back again. Little is known about Shakespeare’s life, and in this biography, Bryson makes no attempt to expand on the known details. Of course, Bryson with his signature humour has handled the subject very easy to read and enjoy. ![]() And in the course of reading, I learned a great deal about Elizabethan times and of course about Shakespeare. ![]() Anyways after buying it, I decided to read it. I have enjoyed so much his previous books “ The Thunderbolt Kid” and “ Neither here Nor there“, that the minute I saw his name I bought the book. So why did I pick this book, which is a biography of Shakespeare – it was simply because of “ Bill Bryson” name in the title. I have only read Shakespeare’s works in few chapters in English textbooks and seeing the plays in few movies. I have never been into reading poetry, poems or other forms of heavy literature. ![]()
