The author deals first and foremost with the legend and then with the life. In the light of modern research he explores the Elizabethan playhouse with the help of a set of graphic reconstructions and examines the effect of its complicated structure on the play itself.

Shakespeare against the background of his times, his world of the theatre and his dramatic development through the last years of Elizabeth's reign.
