"Shakspeare and His Times" by François Guizot is a historical exploration of William Shakespeare's life and plays within the framework of his era. The book examines the growth of Shakespeare's fame, comparing earlier opinions with current praise of his brilliance. Guizot talks about how dramatic poetry comes from everyday people and how it makes audiences feel things together.
