Synopsis: March 1616: William Shakespeare is dying, with his lawyer at his bedside. It is time to dictate his will. But how can a man put his affairs in order before he has come to terms with his past? Acclaimed poet, novelist, and Shakespeare professor Christopher Rush has put thirty years of scholarship and creativity into this unforgettable reimagining of the Bards life. Rush takes readers into the mind of William Shakespeare, a man whose almost superhuman art was forged from his very human frailties and misfortunes. Will takes us back to Shakespeares childhood, his first encounters with sex, and his forays into the dangers of politics, plague, and love. We hear the chilling account of the Tyburn executions, see him crossing the frozen Thames with the wooden beams that would become the Globe theater, and return with him to Stratford on the heartbreaking journey to bury his only son.--BOOK JACKET.
