Shakespeare's Professional Career

Shakespeare was a supremely successful accommodator. The story of his career as actor and playwright, which this book tells, shows the accommodation of his remarkable talents to the circumstances of his time: the social, political and professional life of Elizabethan and Jacobean England. Peter Thomson describes the development of this talent into genius. He also depicts a background of theatrical rivalry, opportunism, service to noble patrons, and the sometimes involuntary involvement in political intrigue.Thomson, Peter is the author of 'Shakespeare's Professional Career' with ISBN 9780521466554 and ISBN 0521466555.
