William Shakwspeare - a Compact Documentary Life

Covering 400 years of Shakespeare scholarship, Schoenbaum's now classic 'William Shakespeare - A Documentary Life' received high acclaim from critics and scholars. Making the resources of the world's greatest Shakespeare collections more accessible to all readers, this updated "Compact Life" contains a refined and amplified version of the original text and fifty of the original documents reproduced in smaller format. Schoenbaum has incorporated new material into his narrative, including an eyewitness account, in harrowing detail, of a murder believed to have occurred in New Place, the house that Shakespeare bought in Stratford in 1597. He also provides a new postcript which includes newly-compiled information from recent research on Shakespeare.
