In 1612 Shakespeare gave evidence at the Court of Requests in
Westminster - it is the only occasion his spoken words are
recorded. The case seems routine - a dispute over an unpaid
marriage-dowry - but it opens up an unexpected window into the
dramatist's famously obscure life-story. Charles Nicholl applies a
powerful biographical magnifying glass to this fascinating episode
in Shakespeare's life. Marshalling evidence from a wide variety of
sources, including previously unknown documentary material on the
Mountjoys, he conjures up a detailed and compelling description of
the circumstances in which Shakespeare lived and worked, and in
which he wrote such plays as Othello, Measure for Measure and King
Lear.
