William Shakespeare's plays have been read and performed every year throughout the English-speaking world. They have been translated into virtually every language, most have been adapted for the cinema, and many have been re-written in other forms. This book combines details of William's personal life (childhood, marriage and children) with a look at his early days in the theatres of London. The various themes and characters in William's many literary works are examined - all of which contributed to him becoming the world's most successful poet and playwright. Clearly presented, with colour pictures, glossary and date chart.
