"Garry O'Connor's biography creates a vivid impression of Shakespeares' family life, his marriage and sexuality, the intimate details of his background, and his relationships with the theatre, his audiences and the towering political figures of his time such as Queen Elizabeth and the Earl of Essex. It captures the darkness and confusion of his religious feelings, and his painful search for identity as well as his continuous commitments to change and development.
Above all it achieves the near impossible, transforming the anonymous and invisible Shakespeare into a living mosaic - an unforgettable presence, answerable to the facts we know about him, but also the ambiguities and some of the wilder speculations."--BOOK JACKET.
