Provides biographical information on the life of William Shakespeare and his writings. Discusses the trivial events in his life that help interpret the plays or poems he wrote, the "lost years", the Dark Lady of the sonnets, his life as an actor, his legal transactions, and his shift from writing comedies and histories to tragedies. Using documents in which Shakespeare's name appears provides insight into his life as a practical businessman. |
