註釋"Presented here, in highly readable form, is all the essential information on Shakespeare the man, as actor, playwright, and nondramatic poet. Because of the accumulation of legend and supposition surrounding Shakespeare's name, increasedby the absence of any biography for nearly a century following his death, the true facts of his life tend to be obscured. They can be verified, however, by the documents he left at Stratford and London. Gerald Eades Bentey, distinguished Murray Professor of English at Princeton and authority on the Jacobean and Caroline stage, presents these documents and the evidence they offer. In the context of similar contemporary documents, their significance becomes apparent, and Mr. Bentley is thereby able to shed light on several vexing biographical questions, including the hard-to-kill theories that Shakespeare never wrote the plays attributed to him."' -Publisher.
