Author Gary Schmidgall persuasively demonstrates the value of contemplating the professional reasons Shakespeare -- or any poet of the time -- ceased being an Elizabethan court poet and focused his efforts on drama and the Globe. Students of Shakespeare and of Renaissance poetry will find Schmidgall's approach and conclusions both challenging and illuminating.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of Kentucky","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47615160877207,"sku":"9780813117065","price":2871.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780813117065.webp?v=1775098456","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/shakespeare-and-the-poets-life-9780813117065","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
