"What did Elizabethan theatergoers eat while watching Hamlet? British Museum Director MacGregor answers that question and many others as he examines 20 objects, now in museums and libraries, that illuminate daily life in Shakespearean England. . . . Beautifully illustrated, MacGregor's history offers a vibrant portrait of Shakespeare's dramatic, perilous, and exhilarating world."
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Neil MacGregor offers sparkling insights into Shakespeare's times and how the Elizabethans really lived. . . . Filled with anecdotes and insights, eerie, funny, poignant and grotesque, Shakespeare's Restless World is another brilliant vindication of MacGregor's understanding of how physical objects enter deep into our fore-father's mental and spiritual world."
--Sunday Times (London)
"MacGregor wants us to see both how the past shapes and shades our present but--equally--how strange and alien it should feel. . . . He shows time and again how the epoch-making changes that the Stratford playwright both lived through and expressed still echo through our arguments and anxieties over community and identity."
--The Independent
"A revelation . . . MacGregor's choice of clocks, mirrors, and swords opens a door on to the lost world of London's theatregoers in and around 1600. . . . The interrogation of these objects yields a sequence of fascinating footnotes to Shakespeare's timeless poetry."
--The Observer (London)
