I'm a Canadian modernist by trade, but I enjoy expanding my horizons. No academic can go wrong with Shakespeare!Melissa Dalgleishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01941383321743781790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36090826.post-47486436030043706372006-11-14T13:40:00.000-05:002006-11-14T13:40:00.000-05:00Hi Melissa,

Check out "Shakespeare Wars" by Rosenbaum, "Sweet Swan of Avon" by Robin Williams, "Shakespeare After All" by Garber, "Invention of the Human" by Bloom, "1599 : A Year in the Life of Shakespeare" by Shapiro, "Shakespeare: A Biography" by Ackroyd...<br /><br />They may not all meet your "not academic" criteria (especially Bloom :)), but they've all been published within the last year or two, and all have been written about in papers such as the NY Times. None of them is an academic thesis, they are all books you can find at your local Borders.<br /><br />The man's a very popular subject!<br /><br />Duane<br />http://suchshakespearestuff.blogspot.comDuane Morinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16569611828708601563noreply@blogger.com
