The Myth of Shakespeare

Exploring the imagined life of Shakespeare during his creative process, this dramatic verse interweaves scenes with excerpts from his plays, presenting a multifaceted view of the playwright at court, among friends, and as a dramatist. Charles Williams, a member of the 'Inklings' group, infuses his work with spiritual themes, reflecting his interest in Christian fantasy. This classic, originally published in 1928, is now reissued with a new introductory biography, offering fresh insights into Williams' literary contributions and the mythos surrounding Shakespeare.
