Charles Nicholl Author & Editor

Nicholas Rowe (1674-1718) wrote some of the most admired tragedies and poems of the 18th century, but is now remembered mainly for his pathbreaking edition of Shakespeare's plays, published in 1709, to which all later editions are indebted. Charles Nicholl is a biographer who has won the James Tait Black and Hawthornden Prizes, as well as the Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger Award for his work on Marlowe. His works include Leonardo da Vinci: Flights of the Mind and The Lodger Shakespeare: His Life on Silver Street.
