The title of this collection, Profiling Shakespeare, is meant
strongly, in its double sense. These essays show the outline of a
Shakespeare rather different from the man sought so earnestly and
eagerly by biographers from his time to our own. And they also show
the effects, the ephemera, the clues and cues, welcome and
unwelcome, out of which Shakespeare's admirers, citers, fans and
dedicated scholars have pieced together a vision of the playwright,
whether as sage, lover, psychologist, guidance counselor, or
successful businessman. This collection brings together classic
pieces, hard-to-find chapters, and two new essays. Here, Garber has
produced a series of essays at once serious and highly readable,
each one ranging broadly across time periods (early modern to
postmodern) and touching upon both high and popular culture.
