IN SEARCH OF SHAKESPEARE

Drawing on an extensive range of sources, the acclaimed broadcaster and historian Michael Wood takes us back into Elizabethan England to reveal a man who is the product of his time. His absorbing historical detective story takes a fresh approach to Shakespeare's life, brilliantly recreating the turbulent times through which the poet lived: the age of the Reformation, the Spanish Armada, the Gunpowder Plot and the colonization of the Americas.
