		<description><![CDATA[

Despite the scrutiny of generations of biographers and scholars, the Great Bard&#8217;s life is still a dense thicket of myths and traditions. 
Even Bill Bryson - travel writer, polymath and a master of research - found the world&#8217;s most famous writer a rather slippery character: in his new biography Shakespeare: The World as a Stage [...]]]></description>

&#8220;There aren&#8217;t many novels about people simply growing old&#8221; declares novelist, columnist and critic Philip Hensher in an upper room off Christ Church Quad. 
Hensher&#8217;s certainly been keen to challenge himself - The Northern Clemency is an ambitious novel tracking the adventures of two ordinary families in a quiet Sheffield suburb, and allowed him a [...]]]></description>
