In 1612 Shakespeare gave evidence at the Court of Requests in Westminster - it is the only occasion his spoken words are recorded. The case seems routine - a dispute over an unpaid marriage-dowry - but it opens up an unexpected window into the dramatist's famously obscure life-story. Charles Nicholl applies a powerful biographical magnifying glass to this fascinating episode in Shakespeare's life. Marshalling evidence from a wide variety of sources. including previously unknown documentary material on the Mountjoys. he conjures up a detailed and compelling description of the circumstances in which Shakespeare lived and worked. and in which he wrote such plays as 'Othello'. 'Measure for Measure'. and 'King Lear'. Subjects; Shakespeare. William (1564-1616) — Biography. Shakespeare. William (1564-1616) — Homes and haunts — England — London. Belott. Stephen. Wilkins.
