1599 was an epochal year for Shakespeare and England
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.
