Shakespeare was a Woman and Other Heresies

Shakespeare was a Woman and Other Heresies

It was a hat tip from a Jodi Picoult book, By Any Other Name, not the first reference to this tome, but a strong secondary. Bought the book.

Conjecture, facts, academic sleuthing, and what I recall? One of the recent, great biographies about Shakespeare, pretty sure I read it, but the supposition. More fiction than fact.

“The Droeshout portrait and its accompanying texts stirred a feeling I have often had about the whole mess: that there is something uncannily Shakespearean about the Shakespeare authorship question.” Page 97.

The authorship question rages onward. I liked the Sweet Swan of Avon, as that posited a female as the leading character.

In other terms? Sweet Swan of Avon.
