Description
8vo, hardcover. missing jacket, but book in very good condition. no marks. In 1612 Shakespeare gave evidence at the Court of Requests in Westminster ñ it is the only occasion his spoken words are recorded. The case seems routine ñ a dispute over an unpaid marriage-dowry ñ but it opens up an unexpected window into the dramatistís famously obscure life-story. Charles Nicholl applies a powerful biographical magnifying glass to this fascinating episode in Shakespeareís life. Marshalling evidence from a wide variety of sources, including previously unknown documentary material on the Mountjoys, he conjures up a detailed and compelling description of the circumstances in which Shakespeare lived and worked, and in which he wrote such plays as Othello, Measure for Measure and King Lear.
