We have many different ways of considering the man and his work. In her biography of Shakespeare, Chute did something that few biographers had done or have done since. Production of his plays had almost disappeared until the great actor and producer David Garrick resurrected them in the late 18th century.

As Chute discovered that a lot of what was known about Shakespeare was myth, hearsay, and sometimes invented out of whole cloth, she utilized contemporary records almost exclusively. Consulting thousands of sources, she looked at everything she could find—land and church records, legal filings, official play folios, broadsides, poems written by others, accounts of theater visitors, and more.

She includes his life in both Stratford and London, the lives of his parents, and what happened with his children. The primary focus is London and the theater including how it managed through and survived two rounds of the bubonic plague.

If there was a single factor which stood out as decisive in the popularity of his plays, it was his continuing to be an actor long after most playwrights retreated to the writing desk. He continued to act until at least Acting was not for the faint-hearted or the unathletic. Not only did the actor have to remember his lines and convincingly act; he was often called upon to jump from stage windows, engage in fencing and swordfights, feign the loss of limbs, and more.

Chute also pays considerable attention to the sources Shakespeare used. Her use of sources is so vast that she acknowledges in the introduction that she had not included most of them in the bibliography, which would make it longer than the text. But by emphasizing the detail of the everyday, her narrative brings Shakespeare the man to full realization. A native of Minnesota, Chute was considered a significant writer in her lifetime and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
