Praise from Great Britain:
"Fascinating... An enthralling work of popular scholarship."
-Robert McCrum, "The Observer
""Ingenious... [Shakespeare's London] was a time and a place
teeming with excitement, anecdote and incident, and Wells, in this
richly enjoyable work, brings it to life with a novelist's sense of
the telling detail."
-Dominic Dromgoole, "The Sunday Times
""Comprehensive and colorful... This is illuminating, well-planned
and suggestive work, not only for those readers who have little
acquaintance with the subject, but also for those already familiar
with it. One of the greatest gifts of this book... is to
re-astonish readers with the simple fact of the newness of all
this."
-Min Wild, "The Independent on Sunday
""A valuable contribution to popular Shakespeare scholarship... A
feat of synthesis... Each page is dense with well-chosen
information and sensible, sensitive interpretation."
-Peter Wentworth, "The Literary Times Supplement
""This collaborative Shakespeare makes a refreshing change from the
autistic monarch of the stage... Wit its lightly worn learning and
its refreshing argument, this is a rewarding and readable book.
Anyone who wants to understand Shakespeare will learn from it."
-Colin Burrow, "Evening Standard
