About this listen
William Shakespeare didn’t just write plays. He rewrote the code of English itself. This isn’t a textbook. It’s an autopsy. Of the man. The myth. The infection. From Stratford’s dirty streets to the echoing rafters of the Globe, Shakespeare: The Man Who Infected English unpacks how one playwright didn’t just survive history—he rewrote it.
With ghosts, sonnets, sex jokes, and death scenes that still punch four centuries later, Shakespeare buried his code into the language you speak now, whether you know it or not. This book follows the full arc—the early years, the rise, the chaos, the disappearance—and rips open the plays along the way to show you what they really are: operating systems for the human mind.
If you thought you knew Shakespeare, you didn’t. If you thought he was boring, you were lied to. If you think he’s dead, check your language.
