    <body><![CDATA[I've read a few books and articles that rely on a handful of documents and a heap of imagination to paint a picture of Shakespeare's possible life. In &quot;Shakespeare: The World As Stage,&quot; Bill Bryson tells us what we don't know about the bard -- which is just about everything. It turns out there's not a lot of documentation about the life of a 15th Century British playwright whose worth was not recognized until long after his death. This is not a comedy like so many of Bryson's books. Instead, it's an interesting, and relatively quick, journalist's tour.]]></body>
