N2  - Shakespeare and the Poet's Life explores a central biographical question: why did Shakespeare choose to cease writing sonnets and court-focused long poems like The Rape of Lucrece and Venus and Adonis and continue writing plays?

Students of Shakespeare and of Renaissance poetry will find Schmidgall's approach and conclusions both challenging and illuminating
