| Summary | "The Facts About Shakespeare" by William Allan Neilson and Ashley Horace Thorndike is a scholarly account written in the early 20th century. This publication aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the life and times of William Shakespeare, exploring his cultural context, biography, and the influences that shaped his works. The authors delve into topics such as Shakespeare's environment in Elizabethan England, his education, and the significant events that marked his life and career. The beginning of this work sets the stage by outlining the sociopolitical and cultural landscape of Shakespeare's England. It describes the significant transformations occurring during his lifetime, including shifts in religion, commerce, and daily living, which contributed to the vibrant atmosphere that influenced Shakespeare's writing. The authors touch upon the broader implications of these changes, such as the rise of individualism and national identity, and introduce the reader to key themes that will shape the discussions in subsequent chapters. They establish that Shakespeare's unique position in society allowed him to observe and reflect the complexities of human nature and societal change in his plays.
