Title: William Shakespeare, Richard Barnfield, and the sixth Earl of Derby
Description: "Daugherty's work, blending historical fact with imaginative conjecture. shows how research in the Renaissance can be exciting today. His brave readings of primary texts are supported by solid data and tempting arguments. His style is carefully eralied and eminently readable. Scholars will, in the future. look with renewed vigor at both Barnfield and Shakespeare because of Daugherty's studied conclusion."--Professor George Klawitter, St. Edward's University.
