This unabridged reading of Peter Ackroyd's biography positions Shakespeare in the context of his world, entering London with him as modern theatre, as we know it, is just beginning to emerge. Ackroyd writes as though we are observing Shakespeare and his circle of friends, patrons, managers, and fellow actors and writers. This bestselling biographer and novelist brings Shakespeare to life in the manner of a contemporary rather than a biographer. Read by Simon Vance. 19 hours; 16 CDs.
