Along the way, he finds the love of his life, then loses her and their infant daughter in a storm-tossed sea.Happily, this is a romance--Shakespeare's first--where, in true storybook fashion, miracles reunite the lost with those who love them, bringing joy and safe harbor at last. |
Contributor Bio(s): Shakespeare, William: - William Shakespeare (1564-1616), English poet and dramatist of the Elizabethan and early Jacobean period, is the most widely known author in all of English literature and often considered the greatest. He was an active member of a theater company for at least twenty years, during which time he wrote many great plays. Plays were not prized as literature at the time, and Shakespeare was not widely read until the middle of the eighteenth century, when a great upsurge of interest in his works began that continues today. |
