While this is the era when Shakespeare was prominent, the book is not focused on Shakespeare and his England. With that in mind, this is a fine resource for better understanding what England was all about during the Renaissance years. Commentary would have added a bit more dimension.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-12-17 00:00:00 Doug Patterson This book disappointed me. I bought it in England at Shakespeare's home in Stratford. Didn't have a lot of time to look through it before buying it, but picked it up thinking it looked great. I was really hoping to have some good material to use with my senior English classes. Well, it's interesting to some extent, but it is almost all primary source materials with not much commentary. A great deal of literature from the time period that is frankly pretty boring. I did not learn very much new about life in Shakespeare's time.
