After a quick run down through the life (which we don't know much about (but more than I thought)), the author looks at Elizabethan theatre and the poems, then takes us through Shakespeare's output, play by play. A short final chapter looks at Shakespeare's influence and reputation. The descriptions of the plays were too short to be useful except where you already knew the play. I think this could have been shortened and more time spent on the final chapter. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
