      abstract = {"While over the past four hundred years numerous opinions  have been voiced as to Shakespeare's identity, these eleven  essays widen the scope of the investigation by regarding  Shakespeare, his world, and his works in their interaction  with one another. Instead of restricting the search for  bits and pieces of evidence from his works that seem to  match what he may have experienced, these essays focus on  the contemporary milieu-political developments, social and  theater history, and cultural and religious pressures-as  well as the domestic conditions within Shakespeare's family  that shaped his personality and are featured in his works.  The authors of these essays, employing the tenets of  critical theory and practice as well as intuitive and  informed insight, endeavor to look behind the masks, thus  challenging the reader to adjudicate among the possible,  the probable, the likely, and the unlikely. With the  exception of the editor's own piece on Hamlet, Shakespeare  the Man: New Decipherings presents previously unpublished  essays, inviting the reader to embark upon an intellectual  adventure into the fascinating terrain of Shakespeare's  mind and art."--},
