Pressestimmen
"A splendid book that not only presents all salient information lucidly but that also quietly advises students as to the fragility of biographical allegations--a vivid lesson as to why scholarship matters!"--Dennis R. Dean, University of Wisconsin-Parkside "Masterly...[Schoenbaum] manages to mention everything relevant, and the details are so organized that we never lose sight of the design of the whole....This book will remain the standard life for many years."--Kenneth Muir, Shakespeare Quarterly "Schoenbaum is the outstanding living authority on Shakespeare's biography....The 'Compact Life' is essential reading for anyone even moderately curious about the current state of Shakespeare biography."--O.B. Hardison, Jr., Georgetown University "[This book] is the abridged amplified version of the magnificent $50 edition. The Shakespearean authority strips away four centuries of myths, mistakes, and scholarly embellishments; the Bard emerges, pristine, more fascinating than ever."--The St. Louis Post-Dispatch "No student or reader of the plays can afford to neglect Schoenbaum either in the earlier luxurious book or in the graceful, sure-handed compact documentary life now available. The first is an investment, the new one proof that small too can be beautiful."--The New York Times Book Review

Eine Biographie, die absolut "bodenständig" ist: Fakten und nur Fakten und nicht der uebliche Dunst an Fantasie. Das kleine Wunder dabei ist: das Buch ist alles andere als knochentrocken und gut lesbar!

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 15. Mai 2000
I was a personal friend of Sam's in fact a neighbor of his in Maryland for 6 years. I spoke with him a week before he passed away and he was telling me that Shakespeare's Identity was still an elusive subject for him and other scholars. He felt that his book ,William Shakespeare : A Compact Documentary Life, a lifelong pursuit was a good primer for beginners but that he felt incomplete about it and wished he had another life to make changes. This I found powerful as he was willing to be open about this and not be stuck in being an expert. Although his research in this book carries influence as authoritarian on Shakespeare's life , Sam up till the end of his life was convinced there had to be more. His publisher of course was unwilling to consider a new revised edition. But one thing Sam stressed over and over in the book as well that it was important for teachers who used his research to be careful in not telling students this was the absolute Gospel on Shakespeare's life.

Compact but definitive
Rezension aus dem Vereinigten Königreich vom 14. Dezember 2013Verifizierter Kauf
The compact version of Shakespeare's Lives. Every bit as good. More focused, easier to read. It's coming on holiday with me.

A Peculiar Life
Rezension aus Kanada am 2. Januar 2013Verifizierter Kauf
Schoenbaum's Documentary Life was, and is still, a necessary accessory to anyone curious enough to have a glimpse of Elzabethan England and the society that nurtured the greatest dramatist that has ever lived (greater than the Greek tragedians put together).
The edition, however, requires updating: something very difficult to accomplish when one has to contend with Schoenbaum's encyclopaedic knowledge.

Who Was this Guy?

I
Some people think the works of Shakespeare should be ashamed of their middle class, money-grubbing, litigious author. This book gives evidence about the man whose contemporaries proclaimed was the writer. I like the down to earth nature of this book. The author doesn't fuddle around with pseudo Shakespeares (usually aristocrats who showed no talent for words). He collected documents that nail down what we know about the Stratford man, and it is quite a bit more than cultists choose to admit.
However, the very compactness of the collection is a drawback. If you've got the time and the money, buy this for the most recent Schoenbaum text, and buy his earlier William Shakespeare, A Documentary Life - in which you will find nearly full-sized (folded, of course) reproductions of printed and handwritten documents. Much more satisfying!
But if you just want to learn some of the truth about the man, this is a worthy compendium. Just buy a good magnifying glass.

The Seminal (Modern) Shakespeare Biography
Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 13. Dezember 2009Verifizierter Kauf
In graduate school, I asked an eminent Shakespeare scholar for recommendations on Shakespeare biographies to consult for my thesis on _Measure for Measure_, and he pointed to this work. After studying modern Shakespeare criticism, it is clear that this is, and has been since the 70s, the seminal biography of the bard. Schoenbaum's biography is a shorter version of his more magisterial volume (Shakespeare: A Documentary Life). I prefer the readability of this 'compact' life, in that it excludes Schoenbaum's sometimes lengthy considerations (in the full version) of critical controversies regarding Shakespeare's life.
What makes this biography so impressive and so esteemed by scholars is its (mainly) objective presentation of the facts surrounding Shakespeare's life. He avoids much of the speculation and even fantasizing of many Shakespeare biographies out there, including Stephen Greenblatt's readable and rewarding imagining. Whereas some scholars eagerly interpret the plays as windows into Shakespeare's life, even using excerpts from the plays as biographical evidence, Schoenbaum tends to present the facts without interpretation.
For those students and teachers of Shakespeare out there looking for a complete and unbiased presentation of the facts of Shakespeare's life, I recommend this biography over all others.
But a word of warning: do not expect a colorful portrait of Shakespeare. Because of the lack of evidence, Shakespeare's life can come across as frustratingly incomplete. If you experience this impression, it is a sign you are reading a dispassionate presentation of the facts. Also, do not expect much interpretation of the plays. Such is the approach of impressionistic biographers, and their biographies, while more readable, involve inferences that tell you more about the biographer than Shakespeare.

Not worth it.
Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 13. Juli 2019Verifizierter Kauf
A terrible book that is just a photocopy of old books. Very difficult to use. Bought to help on a school project for my son and forgot to return it. A complete waste of money.
