David Rains Wallace has published over twenty books on natural history and conservation, including two "eco-thriller"novels. His books have won numerous awards including the coveted John Burroughs Medal for Nature Writing, awarded to "The Klamath Knot: Explorations of Myth and Evolution" in 1984. Two of his books were New York Times Books of the Year: "The Monkey's Bridge" in 1997 and "Beasts of Eden" in 2004. With an MA. in English, Wallace has always been interested in the relationship between literature and nature. "Shakespeare's Wilderness" is the result of a lifetime of reading, watching, and thinking about Shakespeare, and particularly in wondering how his unique and seminal (if sometimes overlooked) attitude to wild nature came about.
