ABSTRACT
The title of this collection, Profiling Shakespeare, is meant to incorporate the varying meanings of “profiling” in use today, from the drawing or silhouette to the record of a person’s psychological and behavioral traits. The outline of a face or head; the biographical sketch of a public figure; the personality disclosed through responses to a social science questionnaire; the description of the probable characteristics of an unknown perpetrator, developed by investigators to help identify suspects. Each kind of profile will play some part in this book.
