Quoted in Schoenbaum:
Shakespeare’s Lives
, page 182.

I came to this study as a Shakespearian enthusiast rather than expert, and my debt to previous scholarship is as obvious as it is profound. Of the most recent biographies, I have found these most illuminating: Katherine Duncan-Jones’s
Ungentle Shakespeare,
Stephen Greenblatt’s
Will in the World,
Anthony Holden’s
William Shakespeare,
Park Honan’s
Shakespeare: A Life,
Eric Sams’s
The Real Shakespeare,
Stanley Wells’s
Shakespeare: A Dramatic Life,
Richard Wilson’s
Will Power
and
Secret Shakespeare,
and Michael Wood’s
In Search of Shakespeare.
To all these scholars and biographers I extend my thanks, as well as to those whose books are to be found in the following bibliography.
