It remains highly regarded and much cited by critics and scholars.

He lives in a congested city, where he encounters disease, debt and cut-throat competition. His brilliance often makes him the object of envy and malice rather than adulation. He is a shrewd purchaser of property and shows no inclination to divert any of his wealth to charitable or altruistic ends. He appears to be more interested in relationships with well-born young men than with women. Duncan Jones takes us through the complexities of life in late Elizabethan and early Jacobean England in a compelling well-told story. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor this paperback reissue, the author has written a new Preface, detailing some of the recent debates about Shakespeare's biography and identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKatherine Duncan Jones\u003c\/b\u003e is editor of the Arden Third Series\u003ci\u003e Shakespeare's\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eSonnets\u003c\/i\u003e and co-editor of the Arden Third Series \u003ci\u003eShakespeare's Poems\u003c\/i\u003e.
