Description

When Jane Sutcliffe sets out to write a book about William Shakespeare and the Globe Theatre, in her own words, she runs into an issue: Will’s words keep popping up everywhere! What’s an writer to do? In the end, Will is accountable for such familiar phrases as “what’s done is done” and “too much of a good thing.” He even helped turn “household words” into household words.
 
But, Jane embraces her quandary, writing about Shakespeare, his plays, and his famous phrases with glee. In the end, what better words are there to make use of to write about the greatest creator within the English language than his very own?  As readers will discover, “the long and the short of it” is this: Will changed the English language endlessly.
 
Backmatter includes an writer’s note, a bibliography, and a timeline.
