Description

"It's 1616 and William Shakespeare is back in his native Stratford-upon-Avon. His extraordinary career as a playwright and poet in London seems like another world. A strange encounter with a witch-like madwoman in his local churchyard fills Will with dread, and sends him reeling back in memory to those darker days in London along the filthy, fevered banks of the Thames - a time when politics, plagiarism, sexual passions, and betrayed friendship conspired to the point of murder." "The actors, teachers, lovers, and fellow writers spring to life in Shakespeare's confessions - especially a talented, twisted, compelling, and dangerous man named Kit Marlowe, who would change Will's life forever."--BOOK JACKET.
