A Norton paperback of Stephen Greenblatt's speculative biography, which connects the plays to the sparse documentary record of Shakespeare's life. Greenblatt is a gifted storyteller, even when the evidence is thin, and the book reads like a portrait built from educated guesses. The color plates are a nice bonus. The Norton cover is the standard trade look, neither flashy nor obscure. Norton included sixteen pages of color illustrations to satisfy the reader who wants faces as well as text. Ideal reader: the Shakespeare reader who wants context without getting lost in the archives, or the tourist about to visit Stratford and wanting something beyond the gift shop.
