Résumé
Winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize's 25th Anniversary Winner of Winners awardWhat accounts for Shakespeare's transformation from talented poet and playwright to one of the greatest writers who ever lived? In this gripping account, James Shapiro sets out to answer this question, "succeed[ing] where others have fallen short." (Boston Globe) 1599 was an epochal year for Shakespeare and England. During that year, Shakespeare wrote four of his most famous plays: Henry the Fifth, Julius Caesar, As You Like It, and, most remarkably, Hamlet; Elizabethans sent off an army to crush an Irish rebellion, weathered an Armada threat from Spain, gambled on a fledgling East India Company, and waited to see who would succeed their aging and childless queen.
James Shapiro illuminates both Shakespeare's staggering achievement and what Elizabethans experienced in the course of 1599, bringing together the news and the intrigue of the times with a wonderful evocation of how Shakespeare worked as an actor, businessman, and playwright. The result is an exceptionally immediate and gripping account of an inspiring moment in history. This immersive historical biography steps into a single, decisive year to reveal: Shakespeare's Creative Breakthrough: A deep dive into 1599, the year he wrote four masterpieces-Henry the Fifth, Julius Caesar, As You Like It, and Hamlet-and how each was shaped by the turbulent world outside the playhouse.
The Birth of the Globe: The dramatic, behind-the-scenes story of how Shakespeare and the Chamberlain's Men dismantled their old playhouse by night and built the legendary Globe theatre, changing the business of London entertainment forever. Political and Social History: A vivid portrait of a nation in crisis, exploring how the Irish rebellion, the threat of a new Spanish Armada, and Queen Elizabeth I's succession crisis fueled Shakespeare's dramatic imagination.
A Groundbreaking Biography: A masterful blend of literary analysis and historical narrative that shows Shakespeare not as a lone genius, but as a working actor, businessman, and playwright deeply engaged with his time.
