Shakespeare and Biography Résumé

Shakespeare and Biography David Bevington (, Phyllis Fay Horton Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus in the Humanities Professor in English Language and Literature and Comparative Literature, University of Chicago.)

OXFORD SHAKESPEARE TOPICS General Editors: Peter Holland and Stanley Wells Oxford Shakespeare Topics provide students and teachers with short books on important aspects of Shakespeare criticism and scholarship. Each book is written by an authority in its field, and combines accessible style with original discussion of its subject. Shakespeare and Biography is not a new biography of Shakespeare. Instead, it is a study of what biographers have said about Shakespeare, from the first formal biography in the early 18th century by Nicholas Rowe to Stephen Greenblatt, James Shapiro, Jonathan Bate, Germaine Greer, Katherine Duncan-Jones, Park Honan, Rene Weis, and others who have written recent biographical accounts of England's greatest writer. The emphasis is on what sort of issues these biographers have found especially interesting in relation to sex and gender, politics, religion, pessimism, misanthropy, jealousy, aging, family relationships, the end of a career, the end of life. How has Shakespeare's contemplation of these issues changed and grown, and in what ways do those changes reflect new cultural developments in our world as it continues to reinterpret Shakespeare?

Shakespeare and Biography Avis

Bevington's Shakespeare and Biography is a learned and engaging account * Jack Lynch, Times Literary Supplement *
This is probably the best and fairest book to date on Shakespeare and biography. * Rene Weis, Around the Globe *
With references to all the biographical studies of Shakespeare from the seventeenth century onwards, Shakespeare and Biography is very rewarding and encourages readers to find our more about Shakespeare as a person with specific interest on his sexual life, religious choices, and political views. * Gul Kurtulus, The Sixteenth Century Journal *
