Abstract A new biography of William Shakespeare that explores his private life in Stratford-upon-Avon, his personal aspirations, his self-determination, and his relations with the members of his family and his neighbours. The book is based in exacting archival research. It suggests the impact upon the young Shakespeare of his father’s business failures, why he wed at age 18, the ways in which his marriage made a career in the theatre possible, how he acquired property and lived as a gentleman, and what it meant that he left his wife Anne Hathaway his ‘second-best bed’. The approach is fresh, historical, and feminist.
