Shakespeare by Bill Bryson is a book in a set called Eminent Lives - where the idea is to profile the life and times of a Eminent Life, without being the be-all and end-all of biographies.
A slim volume tackled over two days as there was no way I was going to be able to finish the Phillip Zimbardo book I was barely halfway through and struggling with.
Nice, lightweight and easy enough to read but filled with fact about how very little we know. For someone so written about, so understood by his own writing he is yet vague as the mist. Elizabethan records not being the best and all.
Another book from the Newby collection, if he ever comes back there will be a box of them waiting...
Next week - we'll see if I can get through the Abu Ghraib half of the Zimbardo book.
