Winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize and the Baillie Gifford ‘Winner of Winners’ award in 2023

How did Shakespeare go from being a talented poet and playwright to become one of the greatest writers who ever lived?

In this one exhilarating year we follow what he reads and writes, what he saw and who he worked with as he invests in the new Globe theatre and creates four of his most famous plays – Henry V, Julius Caesar, As You Like It, and, most remarkably, Hamlet.

This book brings the news, intrigue and flavour of the times together with wonderful detail about how Shakespeare worked as an actor, businessman and playwright, to create an exceptionally immediate and gripping account of an inspiring moment in history.

‘A brilliant study, which carefully unpacks a single year in Shakespeare’s life … The audacious focus on just one year pays off magnificently.’ Sunday Times

‘A far richer, more intimate portrait of our greatest author than you’re likely to find in any cradle-to-grave biography.’ Daily Mail

‘Gripping and illuminating.’ Telegraph

‘A fascinating and entirely believable portrait of a talented workaholic … Shapiro’s informed enthusiasm and energetic prose is addictive.’ Guardian
