	Intimacies with Marlowe, entanglements with the dark lady, a probable illegitimate son - the mysteries of Shakespeare's personal life have proven tantalizingly obscure. In this compelling biography, Rene Weis reveals how the plays and poems themselves contain a rich seam of clues about Shakespeare's life, from his heretical dalliances with Catholicism to his grief at the death of his son Hamnet. Weis consolidates these textual findings with archival research and reconstructs a colourful picture of Shakespeare's daily life in Stratford and London.
