It's a wonderful piece of work -- Simon Russell Beale Thought-provoking...full of unexpected touches...beautifully written -- Andrew Marr Daily Telegraph Really gives one a sense of being in touch with the man. Greenblatt's knowledge of the plays and the times is encyclopaedic -- Humphrey Carpenter Sunday Times
