Shakespeare’s Face

$15.00 CAD

pp. 365, b/w and color illustrations, “‘Is this the face of genius’ asks Shakespeare’s Face, the follow-up book to Globe and Mail reporter Stephanie Nolen’s startling front-page revelation on May 11, 2001, that a 1603 portrait believed to be of William Shakespeare–possibly the only existing image of the playwright painted from life–had turned up in the possession of a Canadian family that had owned it for 12 generations. Whether or not the portrait actually depicts the Bard–and the consensus of the impressive panel of experts assembled to back up Nolen’s investigation with supporting chapters is a resounding ‘maybe’–the real genius of Shakespeare’s Face lies in the book?s packaging.” paperback edition
