"A book of substance and originality.... A highly readable, informative, and artfully illustrated volume for bardolaters and common readers alike." ---Booklist"Exciting...tendentious.... [Wood's] account of the London of Shakespeare's day is excellently done and interestingly illustrated." ---New York Times Book Review"Wood paints a provocative portrait." ---The Washington Post Book World"[Shakespeare] is excellent. Faceless and yet forceful, Shakespeare emerges from the book as the master general he must have been." ---Times Literary Supplement(London)
