Zusatztext Robin Maxwell author of The Queen's Bastard This book is a marvel! Sublimely imaginative and gorgeously wrought. The Bard himself would stand and applaud. Informationen zum Autor Pamela Rafael Berkman Klappentext Like such popular bestsellers as "Girl in Hyacinth Blue" and "The Hours, Her Infinite Variety" draws on the biography and works of a great artist and transforms them into unforgettable fiction. Berkman portrays the women in Shakespeare's world in ten narratives of the playwright's life. Zusammenfassung With elegance! sympathy! and nuance! Her Infinite Variety celebrates the women in William Shakespeare's world. These lyrical stories move from Elizabethan London! where Shakespeare is drawn to the plight of the young wife of a wealthy friend! to a wintry Denmark! where Ophelia struggles to understand her love for Hamlet! and to Shakespeare's Stratford home! where his daughter Judith deliberately enters into a shameful marriage. At the center of this remarkable book is Shakespeare's enduring love for Anne Hathaway! his beautiful! passionate! illiterate wife. Together! the masterfully interwoven stories of Her Infinite Variety bring to life a Shakespeare who was formed by the women he loved -- and who loved him.
