4.0

This is an excellent, detailed, well-argued view of Shakespeare's life. While there's not the connective narrative to get a full view, Duncan-Jones gets into hyper-focused detail on many aspects and events. This wouldn't be a great primer on his life for someone who has no knowledge of the basic biography, but is an excellent second step. It's fascinating, well written, and something I'll go back to again and again.
