The early romantic entanglements of Will Shakespeare with two Hathaway sisters and a London tavern maid provide the entertaining material for this fictional version of the playwright's love life (and serve to explain why he often wrote of strong women and disguises). Solid research bolsters Klein's vision of Will's world; Renaissance theatrical practices; and Meg, the muse he meets but doesn't marry. Reading list.
