The Lodger Shakespeare: His Life on Silver Street
This book reads well as a history of everyday life in Jacobean England. It does not read well as a biography of Shakespeare. As is the problem with all biographies of Shakespeare, there is simply not enough known to fill out a book-length biography and the author is forced to speculate.
I did enjoy this book more than Greenblatt's "Will in the World." Bryson's "Shakespeare: The world as a stage" is an entertaining read that mocks the worst of the speculators.
