How to read the John Shakespeare Books in Order?
Shakespeare produced most of his known works between 1589 and 1613. [10] [11] His early plays were primarily comedies and histories and are regarded as some of the best works produced in these genres. He then wrote mainly tragedies until 1608, among them Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, all considered to be among the finest works in the English language. [3] [4] [5] In the last phase of his life, he wrote tragicomedies (also known as romances) and collaborated with other playwrights.
William Shakespeare wrote in his last will and testament, dated March 25, 1616, “Item I gyve unto my wife my second best bed with the furniture” (furniture is used to refer to the curtains and bedcover which formed part of the complete bed).

He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. [3] [4] [5] He is often called England's national poet and the " Bard of Avon" (or simply "the Bard"). His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. [6] Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted. Nagler, A.M. (1958). Shakespeare's Stage.

As a fan of C.J. Sansom's outstanding Matthew Shardlake historical mysteries, I have to agree with the previous reviewer that John Shakespeare's debut outing doesn't quite measure up to that level. What is to follow is an intriguing and suspenseful political and royal mystery, with John Shakespeare, who's William Shakespeare's older brother in this series, in the lead as investigator and chief intelligencer, but where the Cecil's behind the scenes and Sir Francis Walsingham at the forefront will show their force and power to get rid of the Catholic opposition against the Protestant Queen Elizabeth I, and so secure her reign for the coming future against all enemies home and abroad. Those who caught her eye lived a life between heaven and hell depending on her moods, which were as changeable as the weather: one moment sunshine and balm, the next thunder and rage."Edwards, Phillip (1958).

It is also fascinating to learn the different names for a whorehouse or ‘bawdy’ house. It’s such a shame that when unexpected wealth fell on two working girls, Starling and Parsy, they stupidly got drunk and blew it all, in spite of being so careful up to that point. The other silly bit being the results of a visit to a witch and her whore as that was ridiculous, and Shakespeare behaved in a completely stupid way, or was he just naive, or both to fall into that trap.
