Historians and literary scholars alike are presented here with a far more rounded picture of Shakespeare's youthful background than is found in many of the standard biographies. * Robert Bearman, Midland History *


Author Information

Glyn Parry was an undergraduate at St John's College, Cambridge, where he subsequently wrote his PhD under the supervision of Professor Sir Geoffrey Elton. He has held academic posts in Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, where he taught for many years at Victoria University of Wellington, and has held several fellowships at the Huntington Library, San Marino, California. He has been Professor of Early Modern History at the University of Roehampton, London, since 2013. Cathryn Enis is an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham. Her research links local and national narratives, looking for connections between past and current identities, particularly in the county of Warwickshire, where William Shakespeare grew up. She is particularly interested in the interaction between politics and culture, and works across a broad historical timeframe to understand how regional identities and stories are created and shared.
