Overview
Although it follows the contours of Shakespeare's life, this study does not aim to be a biography in the conventional sense. It aims to trace Shakespeare's literary career in a balanced and undogmatic way, recognizing that many questions relating to Shakespeare and his background remain intensely controversial. The author looks at all the main strands in the career in a variety of contexts and thus offers a sound basis for an informed historical reading of Shakespeare's works.Editorials

A history of Shakespeare's literary career rather than a biography. Dutton (English, U. of Lancaster) is an expert on Ben Jonson, and one of the approaches of his study is asking why Shakespeare wrote differently from Jonson and other contemporary playwrights.
