This short biography of William Shakespeare by world famous writer Bill Bryson brims with the author's inimitable wit and intelligence. Includes an exclusive Q&A session with the author. Shakespeare's life, despite the scrutiny of generations of biographers and scholars, is still a thicket of myths and traditions, some preposterous, some conflicting, arranged around the few scant facts known about the Bard -- from his birth in Stratford to the bequest of his second best bed to his wife when he died. Following his international bestsellers 'A Short History of Nearly Everything' and 'The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid', Bill Bryson has written a short biography of William Shakespeare for the Eminent Lives series -- which seeks to pair great subjects with writers known for their strong sensibilities and sharp, lively points of view.
虽然莎士比亚留下了将近100万字的作品，但他亲手写下并保留至今的，只有14个单词——他的6次签名，以及遗嘱上的“出自我手”（原文为“by me”）。没有一页笔记、信件或手稿流传下来。有些权威人士认为，从未上演过的戏剧《托马斯·莫尔爵士》（Sir Thomas More ），有一部分出自莎士比亚之手；但这远非定论。他从未书面描述过自己的生活，即便写过，也没流传下来。他的第一幅“文字肖像”——“他是个英俊善良的人：非常好的同伴，机智过人又不失宽厚”——是约翰·奥布里（John Aubrey）在他过世整整64年之后才写的，而奥布里本人，在莎士比亚去世后10年才出生。 (查看原文)
