A new book called Will in the World by Stephen Greenbatt
looks at the origins of Shakespeare -- how he came to be the
tremendous storyteller we all know. Greenblatt was also a consultant
for the popular Shakespeare in Love movie. The Christian Science Monitor
reports that Greenblatt looked through the entire historical, paper
and gossip trail to find what inspired Shakespeare -- including
Lord Chamberlain's Men group of playwrights and the works of
Christopher Marlowe. The Monitor says Will in the World, "explains
this extraordinary phenomenon with comprehensive evidence, skillful
argument, and gracefully supple style."
