Although I can still recite the many lines from Julius Cesar I learned in high school, I am by no means an authority on Shakespeare. In Shakespeare: The World As Stage, author Bill Bryson reminds us rather poignantly through historical analysis that there are few authorities on this historical figure and much conjecture.
