Bibliography

I came to this study as a Shakespearian enthusiast rather than expert, and my debt to previous scholarship is as obvious as it is profound. Of the most recent biographies, I have found these most illuminating: Katherine Duncan-Jones’s Ungentle Shakespeare, Stephen Greenblatt’s Will in the World, Anthony Holden’s William Shakespeare, Park Honan’s Shakespeare: A Life, Eric Sams’s The Real Shakespeare, Stanley Wells’s Shakespeare: A Dramatic Life, Richard Wilson’s Will Power and Secret Shakespeare, and Michael Wood’s In Search of Shakespeare. To all these scholars and biographers I extend my thanks, as well as to those whose books are to be found in the following bibliography.
