At last--a key that unlocks the secrets of Shakespeare's life
Intimacies with Southampton and Marlowe, entanglements in London
with the elusive dark lady, the probable fathering of an
illegitimate son--these are among the mysteries of Shakespeare's
rich and turbulent life that have proven tantalizingly obscure.
Despite an avalanche of recent scholarship, Rene Weis, an
acknowledged authority on the Elizabethan period, believes the
links between the bard's life and the poems and plays have been
largely ignored. Armed with a wealth of new archival research and
his own highly regarded interpretations of the literature, the
author finds provocative parallels between Shakespeare's early
experiences in the bustling market town of Stratford--including a
dangerous poaching incident and contacts with underground
Catholics--and the plays.
Breaking with tradition, Weis reveals that it is the plays and
poems themselves that contain the richest seam of clues about the
details of Shakespeare's personal life, at home in Stratford and in
the shadowy precincts of theatrical London--details of a code
unbroken for four hundred years.
