Shakespearean biofiction has a long history but recently has seen a boom in production of texts and in public and scholarly interest. From the seventeenth to the twenty-first centuries, Shakespeare's biography has inspired playwrights, poets, novelists, filmmakers, graphic artists and other creators to explore, imagine, and invent diverse biographical stories about the Stratford writer. Across the globe, Shakespearean biofiction gives life to new Shakespeares, to his wife Anne, their two daughters and son Hamnet, and speculates on Shakespeare's relationships with lovers, patrons, and literary collaborators. The fifty-five chapters of The Palgrave Handbook of Shakespearean Biofiction, written by established and emerging scholars, examine the history, genres, forms, and geographies of this work; spotlight key figures in Shakespeare's life; offer new directions in research; and include interviews with and insights from biofiction practitioners. This landmark study of Shakespearean biofiction contributes to a range of fields and disciplines including biofiction and Shakespeare studies, Literary studies, Drama and Performance studies, Film and Screen media, Cultural Studies and History.
