Here is an autobiographical account of the author's quest for the solutions to the mysteries of William Shakespeare's life and works. He tells of the discoveries he has made - the dating of the Sonnets, the identification of the Dark Lady, the many instances where his familiarity with the Elizabethan age has enabled us now to understand the genesis and essential topicality of numerous references and allusions within the Plays. A L Rowse introduces us to the living, educated, politically aware and perceptive man that Shakespeare was.
