Just started this in-depth biography. Ackroyd really digs into Shakespeare's family background & early upbringing & also provides the reader with a flavour of the times. He quotes from Shakespeare's writings, suggests their sources & explains Shakespeare's use of the 'english' language of the time (post late Anglo-Saxon but generally pre-Tudor & not too latinized) - all very intriguing so far!
