I am just finishing Mr. Greenblatt's "Will in the World" and I can say, without reservation, this is the very best book about Shakespeare that I have yet to read. His chapters on the Catholic controversies, the University Wits, The Jew of Malta and The Merchant of Venice, and the Scottish play are absolutely brilliant. And before I read this wonderfully insightful book I had no idea, or so the story goes, that the gates to Purgatory were located on an Irish island! Two thumbs up! Very highly recommended!
Really good talk. A bit of a shame that he has to waste his time explaining why Shakespeare was Shakespeare. Maybe if these conspiracy theory Muppets could just go away and do a bit more reading instead of browsing online, that would save everybody a lot of trouble.
True, but professor Greenblatt was trying to figure out the "secret note" which made Shakespeare transition from The Two Gentlemen Of Verona to Hamlet and King Lear.
