From fictional lovers of Shakespeare, to imagined relationships with his literary collaborators, from stories about his wife Anne, his two daughters and young son Hamnet, Shakespeare’s biography has provided playwrights, poets, novelists, filmmakers and other creators with inspiration to create what is now a substantial body of material that explores, imagines, fantasizes, and invents multiple versions of biographical stories about the Stratford writer. This collection will be the first such volume to gather together, within one cover, the multitude of existing and emerging works connected with Shakespeare biofiction. As the first of its kind, \u003cem\u003eThe Palgrave Handbook of Shakespearean Biofiction\u003c\/em\u003e will be the definitive study of the topic, intervening at a critical juncture of important growth for this subject matter. Thus, the \u003cem\u003eHandbook\u003c\/em\u003e will contribute to the fields of biofiction and Shakespeare studies, and disciplines such as Literary studies, Drama and Performance studies, Film and Screen media, Cultural Studies and History.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKatherine Scheil\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of English at the University of Minnesota, USA.
