Summary:

"Most dedicated readers of Shakespeare have formed some hypothesis about the poet-dramatist's early working life and his beginnings in the theatre industry. From John Aubrey's 'schoolmaster in the country', to Nicolas Rowe's deer-poaching escapade, to S. Schoenbaum's opportunist would-be actor, various proposals have been made for how, when, and why young Shakespeare left Warwickshire and ended up in London"-- Provided by publisher.
