"Shakespeare at the Globe, 1599-1609" by Bernard Beckerman is a non-fiction book that looks at a very important time in theater history. It explores when Shakespeare's theater group, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, were performing at the Globe Theatre from 1599 to 1609. The author explains how setting up the Globe changed the way theater worked, from how audiences acted to the types of plays that were put on stage. The book also shows how Shakespeare's writing became more complex and thoughtful during this time as he tried to balance what people liked with his own artistic goals.
