Review:
A Shakespeare for our time; scholarly, witty and bold -- Melvyn Bragg There's no denying the precision with which he nails his narrative with a well-chosen line. And those lines tend to be good. * SUNDAY TIMES * Holden's book is lively, readable and lit with real enthusiasm for the play and poetry. It should reach a wide audience who will be fascinated by the riddles which make up Shakespeare's life story. * OBSERVER * It deserves its place in the turbulent and constantly expanding firmament of Shakespearean studies. * DAILY TELEGRAPH * smooth, professional. * CONTEMPORARY REVIEW *
