Title: A Silk Purse
Product review: An amazing compilation based on fragments and particles of dust. "Perhaps" is probably the most frequent word in the book. And that's what makes it such marvelous reading. Greenblatt makes no bones about it. He admits that he's working with the scantiest of evidence, but he does a wonderful job with what he has. His guesses may be way off, but they make a lot of sense. We may not know Shakespeare any better as a result, but we do have a splendid picture of the world he lived in. And the language of the book rivals that of its subject.
