30 Great Myths about Shakespeare

What did Shakespeare really believe, write, and do -- and what have we simply assumed for four hundred years? 30 Great Myths about Shakespeare takes aim at the persistent myths surrounding the world's most famous playwright, from questions about his identity and authorship to popular assumptions about his life, his language, and his plays. Written by two leading Shakespeare scholars, each short chapter tackles a single myth, tracing where it came from, why it endures, and what the evidence actually shows. Blending scholarly rigor with an accessible, often witty voice, this book is ideal for students, teachers, theatre-goers, and anyone who has ever repeated a "fact" about Shakespeare without stopping to check whether it's true.
