Nicholl, Charles. The Lodger Shakespeare: His Life on Silver Street. New York: Viking, 2007.[This post has been in the draft stage for nearly a year now. I suppose it's time to post it. First, of course, I need to write it. Hang on a second.]
Charles Nicholl's books is extraordinarily interesting, even though it deals with a very short period in Shakespeare life. Perhaps it's interesting because it deals with such a short period.
There isn't a ton of documentary evidence about Shakespeare—though there is more than most people suspect. This book focuses on an intriguing period in Shakespeare's life (as if all periods in his life weren't intriguing) when he was called in to testify about an engagement agreement.
Speaking of engaging, this book is. Engaging, I mean. Read it.
