DOWNLOAD EBOOK →THE DIARY OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, GENTLEMAN is part comedy, part love story, the threads of Shakespeare's life drawn from his plays. Could the world's greatest writer truly put down his pen forever to become a gentleman? He was a boy who escaped small town life to be the most acclaimed playwright of the land. A lover whose sonnets still sing 400 years later; a glover's apprentice who became a gentleman. But was he happy with his new riches? Who was the woman he truly loved? The world knows the name of William Shakespeare. This book reveals the man - lover, son and poet. Based on new documentary evidence, as well as textual examination of his plays, this fascinating book gives a tantalising glimpse at what might have been: the other hands that helped craft those plays, the secrets that must ever be hidden but - just possibly - may now be told. Ages 12+

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Fact and Fiction About Shakespeare With Some Account of the Playhouses, Players, and Playwrights of His Period So many attempts have been made to pom tray the character of William Shakespeare and elucidate the text of his works, so much material has been collected and published by explorers in the field of Shakespearean lore, that little remains to be recorded by later chroniclers. In this account of the great dramatic poet and i)layer, I fear I must rely for interest more upon the manner in which I have marshalled my gleanings than upon the matter gleaned. Of no man has so much that is unreliable been waitten as about William Shakespeare. He lias been painted as a flawless divinity devoid of those traits we attribute to common humanity, and he has been depicted as a slothful drunkard with Falstaffian proclivities. That which I have written has been restricted to recorded evidences, and inspired by such information as I have acquired in the com se of a labour of love. And if, by my narrative, I have directed any person how to become better acquainted with Shakespeares work, and have thus awakened a corresponding enthusiasm for the author of some of the noblest and most beautiful thoughts in the English language, I shall, in some small measm-e, have repaid the deep debt of gratitude I owe to our ever-lidng poet.
