| 在线阅读本书 This short biography of William Shakespeare by world famous writer Bill Bryson brims with the author s inimitable wit and intelligence. Shakespeare s life, despite the scrutiny of generations of biographers and scholars, is still a thicket of myths and traditions, some preposterous, some conflicting, arranged around the few scant facts known about the Bard -- from his birth in Stratford to the bequest of his second best bed to his wife when he died. Following his international bestsellers A Short History of Nearly Everything and The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid , Bill Bryson has written a short biography of William Shakespeare for the Eminent Lives series -- which seeks to pair great subjects with writers known for their strong sensibilities and sharp, lively points of view. |
