About this title: This biography of Shakespeare and study of his work locates the playwright firmly in the context of his times (chaotic, repressive) and takes into consideration his roots in the rural countryside. It also takes a close look at the question of whether Shakespeare was or was not a Roman Catholic.

"Readable biography of Shakespeare and ties in nicely with the series of the same name. I've always liked Wood who never seems to talk or to write down. In the interest of fairness, I would say that this book perhaps romanticizes Shakespeare's marriage a bit much, but considering the amount of Shakespeare biographies that make his wife a shrew, it's a nice change"
"If anyone is interested in Shakespeare I think this book is a must. Yes, the book is filled with speculation - none of it outlandish - about Shakespeare's life, but Wood always presents evidence for his theories. The book is a lot of fun to read.
"The book accompanies the BBC series of the same name. It is a richly illustrated biography of the Bard.
Wood is firmly in the Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare camp and given the number of theories and books surrounding the authorship perhaps this is no bad thing.
I felt the book was OK but I'd have preferred to watch the series in order to get the full impact of the visuals."
