Shakespeare: Life and Work

About this film

LibriVox recording of Shakespeare: Life and Work by John Munro; Frederick James Furnivall. Read in English by Lynne Thompson; Kalynda; Jim Locke; Rachel Mauldin William Shakespeare: actor, poet, playwright. He is often called England's greatest writer, the Bard of Avon, a national treasure. But who was he? An average boy, born to an average family of the period; a romantic and dreamer, tempted away from his rural home by the sights and sounds of the big city. To commemorate the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare's death, here is one of the many studies of the bard's life and works.
