Reviews
"The most complexly intelligent and sophisticated, and yet the most keenly enthusiastic, study of the life and work taken together that I have ever read." -- Adam Gopnik (The New Yorker) "So engrossing, clearheaded, and lucid that its arrival is not just welcome but cause for celebration." -- Dan Cryer (Newsday) "Vividly written, richly detailed, and insightful from first chapter to last... certain to secure a place among the essential studies of the greatest of all writers." -- William E. Cain (Boston Sunday Globe) "A dazzling and subtle biography." -- Richard Lacayo (Time) "A magnificent achievement." -- Denis Donoghue (Wall Street Journal) "An exceptionally well-told tale, an engrossing page-turner, in fact." -- Robert Hurwitt (San Francisco Chronicle) "Greenblatt takes the bits we do know, nourishes them with a thorough understanding of the Elizabethan world Shakespeare inhabited, and then coaxes each bud of information to flower within our understanding of the plays.... Only a churl would be unpersuaded by it." -- Laura Miller (Salon)

Synopsis
"So engrossing, clearheaded, and lucid that its arrival is not just welcome but cause for celebration."--Dan Cryer, Newsday, Will in the World interweaves a searching account of Elizabethan England with a vivid narrative of the playwright's life. We see Shakespeare learning his craft, starting a family, and forging a career for himself in the wildly competitive London theater world, while at the same time grappling with dangerous religious and political forces that took less-agile figures to the scaffold. Above all, we never lose sight of the great works-- A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth , and more--that continue after four hundred years to delight and haunt audiences everywhere. The basic biographical facts of Shakespeare's life have been known for over a century, but now Stephen Greenblatt shows how this particular life history gave rise to the world's greatest writer. Bringing together little-known historical facts and little-noticed elements of Shakespeare's plays, Greenblatt makes inspired connections between the life and the works and deliver "a dazzling and subtle biography" (Richard Lacayo, Time ). Readers will experience Shakespeare's vital plays again as if for the first time, but with greater understanding and appreciation of their extraordinary depth and humanity.

A young man from the provinces--a man without wealth, connections, or university education--moves to London. In a remarkably short time he becomes the greatest playwright not just of his age but of all time. His works appeal to urban sophisticates and first-time theatergoers; he turns politics into poetry; he recklessly mingles vulgar clowning and philosophical subtlety. How is such an achievement to be explained? Will in the World interweaves a searching account of Elizabethan England with a vivid narrative of the playwright's life.
