The study of Shakespeare is rapidly changing. Scholars are redefining what he did and didnotwrite,whatitmeantinhisowntime,andwhatitmeanstoours.Linesarebeing redrawn, even now; old stories are being told with new twists; our collective images of Shakespeare asapersonandapoetaredisintegratingandreforming.Anewportraitof him has been proposed; scientific language study has assigned new writing to him and dismissed some earlier attributions; we know more about his professional associations, his playing companies, their repertoire, and the country routes they travelled; and we havelearnedfarmoreaboutthesocial,political,religious,andeconomictimesinwhich he lived and for which he wrote than at any time in the past.
