He obtained his B.A. at Columbia University in 1977, Master's degree in 1978 and Ph.D. at University of Chicago in 1982. After teaching at Dartmouth College and Goucher College, Shapiro joined the faculty at Columbia University in 1985. He taught as a Fulbright lecturer at Bar-Ilan University and Tel Aviv University (1988–1989) and served as the Samuel Wanamaker Fellow at the Globe Theatre in London (1998). Shapiro has received awards from the National Endowment for the Humanities, The Huntington Library, and the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture for his publications and academic activities. He has written for numerous periodicals, including ''The Chronicle of Higher Education'', ''The New York Times Book Review'', ''The Financial Times'', and ''The Daily Telegraph''. In 2006, he was named a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellow as well as a Fellow at the Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers at the New York Public Library. Shapiro won the 2006 Samuel Johnson Prize as well as the 2006 Theatre Book Prize for his work ''1599: a Year in the Life of William Shakespeare''.〔''('Shakespeare' Wins Samuel Johnson Prize )'', Washington Post/AP, June 14, 2006〕 He also won the 2011 George Freedley Memorial Award, given by the Theatre Library Association, for his study of the Shakespeare authorship question, ''Contested Will: Who Wrote Shakespeare?'', which has been described as the "definitive treatment" of the Oxfordian theory.〔''Esquire'' columnist Stephen Marche at ('Wouldn’t It Be Cool if Shakespeare Wasn’t Shakespeare?,' ) in The New York Times Magazine, 21 October 2011.p.2: "If you want to read the definitive treatment, there is James Shapiro’s more recent ''Contested Will'', although that book is nearly as absurd as its subject, because using a brain like Shapiro’s on the authorship question is like bringing an F-22 to an alley knife fight."〕 The same year Shapiro was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He recently finished a book about Shakespeare in 1606, the year Shakespeare wrote King Lear and Macbeth. He is married, has a son, and lives in New York City.〔Chautauqua Institution: ''(James Shapiro )'', July 15, 2002〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James S.
