An Introduction to Shakespeare

"An Introduction to Shakespeare" by H. N. MacCracken, W. H. Durham, and F. E. Pierce is a scholastic book from the early 1900s that seeks to paint a picture of Shakespeare's world for learners, so they may go into an understanding of his stories. The book peeks into what little we know of Shakespeare's existence, from his beginnings in Stratford-upon-Avon to his famous move to London, where he became an actor and writer. It explores how these personal and historical events may have affected the stories he later created.
