A probing account of the ways recent Shakespeare biographers
have disguised their lack of information
In the first decade of this century, biographies of Shakespeare poured from the
presses in both Britain and the United States. How could this be when the last
significant discovery of material with any direct relation to his life dates back to
1909?
And why is it that the authors of these books were so often eminent
Shakespeareans who ought to have known better? In this sharp and entertaining
study, David Ellis shows how skilfully the biographers have attempted to make
bricks without straw. He also provides a succinct account of all that can be truly
known about Shakespeare as well as an enquiry into what kind of animal
biography really is and how it should be written.
