William Shakespeare, the most celebrated poet in the English language, left behind nearly a million words of text, but his bio graphy has long been a thicket of wild supposition arranged around scant facts. With a steady hand and his trademark wit, Bill Bryson sorts through this colorful muddle to reveal the man himself. Bryson documents the efforts of earlier scholars, from today's most respected academics to eccentrics like Delia Bacon, an American who developed a firm but unsubstantiated conviction that her namesake, Francis Bacon, was the true author of Shakespeare's plays. Emulating the style of his famous travelogues, Bryson records episodes in his research, including a visit to a bunkerlike room in Washington, D.C., where the world's largest collection of First Folios is housed. Bryson celebrates Shakespeare as a writer of unimaginable talent and enormous inventiveness, a coiner of phrases ("vanish into thin air," "foregone conclusion," "one fell swoop") that even today have common currency. His Shakespeare is like no one else's—the beneficiary of Bryson's genial nature, his engaging skepticism, and a gift for storytelling unrivaled in our time.

每次當我嘗試向人介紹這本書，總不知如何開口：想說這是一本莎士比亞的傳記吧，但它又的確不是，如書中所說，我們對莎翁一生的經歷所能確知者甚少，以至於一些很基本的問題，如他的長相如何，有無宗教信仰，是異性戀還是同性戀者，等等，都尚無定論。更令人好奇的是，其人一生...

鸡肋鸡肋鸡肋，一大堆“不知道”specked with some very high-level theatrical history，bill bryson的英式幽默一如既往的可爱，但我以后再也不读莎士比亚的生平传记了。#11
评分睡前读物，缓慢进展，终于看完～
评分没看完，考证过于详细拉
评分fave
评分It is difficult to imagine such a prolific and ingenius playwright. But perhaps that's just Shakespeare!
