Members price: £9.00
Description:
With essays by Tarnya Cooper, Marcia Pointon, James Shapiro and Stanley Wells
In 1856 the newly founded National Portrait Gallery was presented with a compelling painting of William Shakespeare, known as the Chandos portrait. Yet whether it represents Shakespeare remains a matter of intense debate. For the first time this book looks at six contested portraits of the playwright and examines their authenticity.
With new scientific evidence - including X-ray, infrared and ultraviolet examination, macro and micro photography and paint sampling - Searching for Shakespeare is an impressive and perceptive contribution to historical, cultural and literary studies.
