About this book

James S. Shapiro places Shakespeare's work within the political and theatrical life of 1599. As England faced uncertainty abroad and over the royal succession, Shakespeare worked on Henry the Fifth, Julius Caesar, As You Like It and Hamlet. This literary history argues that understanding the plays requires attention to the events and concerns surrounding their creation.
