Description: **This is an EX-LIBRARY COPY, with all the usual library markings. See photos for more details.** This 2004 2-DVD release from PBS studies the life of William Shakespeare. These discs are an ex-library copy in good condition and play perfectly, with the following write-up on back: He is the most famous of Englishmen, and yet our biographical knowledge of William Shakespeare has always been scant. Now Michael Wood -- with the help of the Royal Shakespeare Company and many other insightful experts -- unravels the mysteries, to tell the story of the great bard. His times: He lived through the Spanish Armada, the Gunpowder Plot, the colonization of the New World and England's Cultural Revolution. His politics: In Elizabeth I's police state the bitter Catholic-Protestant feud dogs his life. His youth: His father's ruin forces the 14 year-old to leave grammar school and go to work. His loves: A father at 18, an infatuation with an aristocratic teenage boy and a passionate sexual affair with a married dark-skinned musician. His 'lost years': What turned Shakespeare from an efficient jobbing playwright into the best writer anyone had ever seen? His career: How he left the Queen's Men to make his fortune in London, established the Globe and made his name "for all time". His plays: From inn courtyard to royal court -- what his plays meant to his actors, his audience and his wallet.
