Over 700 concise biographies of Shakespeare's contemporaries
Covering the period from the Spanish Armada in 1588 to publication of the First Folio in 1623, Who's Who in Shakespeare's England presents over 700 biographies of the leading 'players' of Shakespeare's time - in the arts, politics, the Church, the Court, the secret service, and the theatre. In addition to figures as diverse as Christopher Marlowe, Frances Bacon and Queen Elizabeth I, Shakespeare's family and Stratford connections are included, along with many lesser figures whom he knew personally, and others whose fame and notoriety may have influenced him. With its useful glossary of unusual terms and extensive cross-references, this detailed study richly illustrates the variety and complexity of the life of the period and will be invaluable to legions of Shakespeare lovers.
