Shakespeare - And His Love - A Play in Four Acts and an Epilogue

"Shakespeare and his Love" is a play in four acts by Frank Harris, first published in 1910. The play represents a retelling of Shakespeares tragic life-story as imagined by Harris, including how he met and fell for the Dark Lady, Mary Fitton, who instead fell in love with his patron, William Herbert. It delineates his consequent tormented and jealousy, and his eventual retirement to Stratford-being successful in art but not in love. Frank Harris (1855-1931) was an Irish-American novelist, editor, journalist, publisher, and short story writer who had acquaintances with many famous people of his day. Other notable works by this author include: "The Man Shakespeare and his Tragic Life Story" (1909), "The Yellow Ticket And Other Stories" (1914), and "Contemporary Portraits" (1915-1923). This volume is now being republished in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with an introductory biography of the author.
