But no scholar has been more influential in promoting this approach to the study of literature in general and Shakespeare in particular than Greenblatt. Some, like Shakespeare (2002), by David Bevington, and The Age of Shakespeare (2004), by Frank Kermode, are similar to Will in the World in that they draw connections between Shakespeare's art and his life and times. These books, the fruits of a generation of scholarship, sum up insights and appreciation that have developed over decades of teaching and research. Will in the World is only one of several books by major scholars of Shakespeare to come out at around the same time. He then relates both the personal history and the larger social history to Shakespeare's plays and poetry. He connects what is known about key moments in Shakespeare's life to what historians have learned about what was going on at those moments in England. Greenblatt builds entire scenarios around the limited evidence. In all, however, they form only a sketchy trail with considerable gaps. Scattered records of other moments, especially of transactions in which he was involved, also exist. Some of these correspond to the usual signposts: birth, marriage, and death.
As with other persons in Elizabethan England-England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, 1558–1603-there are records of Shakespeare's life. In it, Greenblatt proposes to answer the question of how a man with only a secondary school education, the son of a small town glove maker, became the most renowned playwright of all time. Stephen Greenblatt's Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare (2004) is a biography of William Shakespeare.
