Shakespeare Unbound: Decoding a Hidden Life (John MacRae Books")

A provocative new study presents an intimate view of the interior world of a genius, drawing parallels between the bard's life and his poetry and plays that reflect his early experiences in Stratford, contacts with underground Catholics, and role in theatrical London, arguing that his literary works offer clues to the details of his personal life.
