Shakespeare: The Greatest Writer (The True Story of William Shakespeare) (Historical Biographies of Famous People)
Shakespeare did more than any person to shape the English language, coining more than a thousand words and writing a host of poems and plays considered the finest of their genres. Yet the documentary record is of his life is surprisingly scanty; literary historians know more about the lives of ancient Greek tragedians like Aeschylus and Sophocles than they do about Britainâ€™s greatest writer.

In this compact, highly readable biography, Alexander Kennedy separates truth from fiction, history from myth in the life of this enigmatic genius. Was Shakespeare gay or bisexual? Who were the recipients of his celebrated sonnets? Did another author write some or all of his plays? How could a single manâ€™s work so thoroughly reshape our language, our literature, and our world? The answers lie within.

"To be, or not to be, that is the question." - William Shakespeare
