INTERNATIONAL ACCLAIM FOR

ANTHONY HOLDEN'S WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

"Holden's book is lively, readable and lit with a real enthusiasm for the plays and poetry. It should reach a wide audience, who will be fascinated with the riddles which make up Shakespeare's life story."

—John Mortimer, The Observer (London)

"Deserves its place in the turbulent and constantly expanding firmament of Shakespearean studies."

—Peter Ackroyd, The Times (London)

"Fun to read. . . . Unlike many, this book is inhabited by a real, recognisable man, the sort you might see interviewed in a newspaper. . . . An enjoyable interrogation of our national enigma, free of pedantry and bardolatry."

—Peter Lewis, Daily Mail (London)
