The opening of the work establishes the author’s objective to fill a perceived gap in Shakespearean literature by presenting a well-organized summary of verifiable information regarding the dramatist’s life. Lee emphasizes that the book is based on extensive research and efforts to clear up ambiguities related to Shakespeare's background, personal history, and literary endeavors. He outlines what readers can expect in terms of new insights into key aspects of Shakespeare's life, including his family background, education, and relationships, as well as discussions about his financial affairs and his connections with notable contemporaries.
