It's 1616, and William Shakespeare is back in his native Stratford-Upon-Avon. His extraordinary career as a playwright and poet in London, among the famous and powerful, seems like another world until a strange encounter with a witch-like madwoman in his local churchyard sends him reeling back in memory to those darker days in London along the filthy, fevered banks of the Thames-a time when politics, plagiarism, sexual passions and betrayed friendship conspired to the point of murder. In "Young Will", Bruce Cook vividly portrays Shakespeare's coming of age. Actors, teachers, lovers and fellow writers spring to life in Shakespeare's often shocking confessions.
