Behind the genius that has given the works of Shakespeare their preeminent position in the literature of the English language is the Renaissance world of Elizabethan England. Scenes from Shakespeare's plays illuminate the theater for which he wrote, while archival paints reveal changes in society that influenced his selection of sources, settings and themes. As we follow the evolution of his career as actor, playwright and theater shareholder through the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I, we discover the values that give their timeless appeal.
