Shakespeare and His World

Halliday, F.E.

Thames and Hudson Ltd.

F. E. Halliday presents in vivid detail what we know about Shakespeare's life after three centuries of discovery, and illuminates and animates the story with illustrations of Elizabethan personalities, pages from the early folios, maps, and photographs of Stratford-upon-Avon. Much of the great playwright's biography is mysterious, but F. E. Halliday (an authority on Elizabethan and Jacobean literature, and especially on Shakespeare) documents the Bard's life and work - reassuring us, incidentally, that William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon really was the author of the plays attributed to him.

A History of Cornwall

This classic history of Cornwall provides a comprehensive review of Britain’s most south-westerly county. With absorbing detail, Halliday relates the story of the Bronze Age stone circles and Iron Age citadels; the coming of the Saints; the dissolution of the monasteries and the Tudor rebellions; the Armada and the war with Spain; the preaching of John Wesley; the making of the railway; and into this fascinating pattern of the centuries he weaves the two threads of the sea and Cornish tin. In this clear and vibrant account, Halliday skilfully illustrates what makes this historic county so exceptional.

Few writers have been so honoured by their contemporaries as Geoffrey Chaucer. His influence on fifteenth-century English literature, and later on Spenser, was remarkable, and he still remains the supreme master of narrative verse - his dramatic sense, understanding of character and technical innovations were brought to perfection three centuries before Shakespeare. He was also a most engaging man, well balanced, humorous and endlessly interested in people. Halliday traces Chaucer's life and his poetic career to his death in 1400
