This study of the many poets, musicians and visual artists
portrayed or described in Shakespeare's plays and poems reveals a
fascination with art and its makers that continued to influence
Shakespeare's work throughout his career. It also uncovers
unexpected aspects of an enthusiastic Elizabethan consumption of
artworks, an enthusiasm that had significant bearing on the quite
new profession that Shakespeare himself followed. A high valuation
placed on art and artists, and at the same time certain fears of
these and fears for these, made for a very complex reception of the
figure of the artist, and Shakespeare's treatments were equal to
that complexity.
