biography Shakespeare Question?

I'm doing a thesis for my biography of Shakespeare. My thesis is: William Shakespeare was one of the best writers who have lived because of his vocal works, tales and sonnets. Comments and improvements please:)

It's a decent argument. It is a boring, typical, 3-by part, but is decent. It should get full marks because there is nothing "wrong" with her. EDIT: The person above me is wrong. Do not give too much detail in a thesis. You made a dogmatic statement, preview of the points of the body (plays, stories and sonnets), and let the reader know what the paper is ready. You do not want your thesis to be too elaborate.

The Chronicle History of King Henry the Fift with His Battell Fought at Agincourt in France [VHS] If Kenneth Branagh’s 1989 version of Shakespeare’s tale of conquering greed reflects the post-Vietnam era, Laurence Olivier’s version very much mirrored his time. When Olivier gave us his colorful adaptation in 1945, it was vivid, full of pageantry, and most definitely geared toward war. Pretty flags and white steeds, shining armor and theatrical emphasis figure into Olivier’s attractive but decor…

That didn’t stop A&E Biography from weaving together a substantial birth (in 1564) to death (in 1616) portrait from spotty documentation, historical accounts, and interpretations of the master’s work itself. It won’t give away all the video’s surprises to reveal here that Shake…

William Shakespeare $95 William Shakespeare's work and life have proved endlessly fascinating to generations of readers. However, it can be difficult to find a way through the mass of differing interpretations of his work and speculation about his life. This book offers a reassessment of Shakespeare and his creative output from his earliest work through his 'mature' drama and the late plays, taking into account our current knowledge of Shakespeare’s biography and consensus on key textual, critical and theatrical issues. William Baker offers a comprehensive but accessible introduction to Shakespeare’s work and places it in the contexts of what is known of his life and activities. Avoiding speculation of a biographical, critical or textual nature, he focuses instead on an account of what is known of Shakespeare and his achievement at the end of the first decade of the twenty-first century.

Shakespeare $9.99 William Shakespeare, the most celebrated poet in the English language, left behind nearly a million words of text, but his biography has long been a thicket of wild supposition arranged around scant facts. With a steady hand and his trademark wit, Bill Bryson sorts through this colorful muddle to reveal the man himself. Bryson documents the efforts of earlier scholars, from today’s most respected academics to eccentrics like Delia Bacon, an American who developed a firm but unsubstantiated conviction that her namesake, Francis Bacon, was the true author of Shakespeare’s plays. Emulating the style of his famous travelogues, Bryson records episodes in his research, including a visit to a bunkerlike room in Washington, D.C., where the world’s largest collection of First Folios is housed. Bryson celebrates Shakespeare as a writer of unimaginable talent and enormous inventiveness, a coiner of phrases (”vanish into thin air,” “foregone conclusion,” “one fell swoop”) that even today have common currency. His Shakespeare is like no one else’s—the beneficiary of Bryson’s genial nature, his engaging skepticism, and a gift for storytelling unrivaled in our time.
