Morning Book Club: Shakespeare: The World as Stage by Bill Bryson In-Person
An enthralling tour through Elizabethan England and the eccentricities of Shakespearean scholarship William Shakespeare, the most celebrated poet in the English language, left behind nearly a million words of text, but his biography has long been a thicket of wild supposition arranged around scant facts. With a steady hand and his trademark wit, Bill Bryson sorts through this colorful muddle to reveal the man himself in this captivating historical biography. His Shakespeare is like no one else’s — the beneficiary of Bryson’s genial nature, his engaging skepticism, and a gift for storytelling unrivaled in our time. Bryson’s quest to uncover the real Shakespeare delivers a lively and accessible look at the man and his world. Librarian Neil will lead the discussion.
