Shakespeare
Entre los numerosos biógrafos de Shakesperare, ninguno aporta al sunto tratado tanta pasión como Anthony Burguess ni más sentimiento al acto creativo. En su esfuerzo por establecer los principales datos sobre la vida y la sociedad de la que surgieron sus poemas y sus obras dramáticas, Burguess logra con éxito mucho más. Ins ufla vida al hombre que fue Shakespeare e infunte energía a su época. Su retrato de aquel periodo se fundamenta en un sentimiento de ternura casi personal hacia el dramaturgo inglés y sus contemporáneos (en especual hacia el dramaturgo inglés Ben Jonson) y en un profundo sentido de la historia literaria y del teatro.

John Anthony Burgess Wilson, who published under the name Anthony Burgess, was an English writer and composer. Although Burgess was primarily a comic writer, his dystopian satire *A Clockwork Orange* remains his best-known novel. In 1971, it was adapted into a controversial film by Stanley Kubrick, which Burgess said was chiefly responsible for the popularity of the book. Burgess produced numerous other novels, including the Enderby quartet, and Earthly Powers. He wrote librettos and screenplays, including the 1977 television mini-series Jesus of Nazareth. He worked as a literary critic for several publications, including The Observer and The Guardian, and wrote studies of classic writers, notably James Joyce. A versatile linguist, Burgess lectured in phonetics, and translated Cyrano de Bergerac, Oedipus Rex, and the opera Carmen, among others. Burgess also composed over 250 musical works; he considered himself as much a composer as an author, although he achieved considerably more success in writing.
