Synopsis

Unravel the life behind the legend of Shakespeare. This concise, scholarly look examines what is actually known about the poet, and why so many biographical details remain elusive.

The book chronicles how early biographies were built, what records exist, and how fires, wars, and shifting tastes erased much of the material. It also explains how scholars piece together the Few known facts from a sea of scattered clues, and what the surviving evidence says about Shakespeare’s education, marriage, and career in London.

• Shows how editors and critics approach Shakespeare’s life and work.


• Discusses the limits of biographical memory for literary figures of his era.


• Highlights the relationship between the plays, poems, and the historical context of the time.


• Offers a guided look at the sources and arguments that shape our understanding today.

Ideal for readers seeking a focused, accessible look at the life behind Shakespeare’s enduring influence, and for students studying literary history and biography.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
