relationship with his wife? Exploring and exploding 30 popular
myths about the great playwright, this illuminating new book
evaluates all the evidence to show how historical material?or
its absence?can be interpreted and misinterpreted, and what
this reveals about our own personal investment in the stories we
tell.
