Description
Provides a colorful glimpse into the life of Shakespeare through vignettes of his family and his relationships with them.

Reviews:
-"A skeptical reader might turn away from such a work, but in fact the book has value. Few studies more candidly illustrate the "vertiginous expanse" between the "sublimity" of the literary oeuvre and the "mundane inconsequence" (to borrow Samuel Schoenbaum's apt phraseology) of the documentary life of the alleged author...Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty." —CHOICE
-"Absorbing and informative, this is one of those unusual books that has a place either on your office bookshelf or on your coffee table at home." —Studies in English Literature
