He is particularly attentive to theatrical values and alludes regularly to modern stage productions.” —Washington Post Considering the playwright and his work, the author theorizes that Shakespeare's elusive personality is a result of his supremacy as a dramatist—that he submerged his identity in his characters—and assesses evolving meanings of the plays and poems.
