Description:

Presents hypotheses about the life of the farmer's daughter who married Shakespeare. This book asks questions, opens fields of investigation and research, and rights the wrongs done to Ann Shakespeare.

Synopsis:

Little is known of the wife of England's greatest playwright. In play after play Shakespeare presents the finding of a worthy wife as a triumphant denouement, yet scholars persist in believing that his own wife was resented and even hated by him. Here Germaine Greer strives to re-embed the story of their marriage in its social context and presents new hypotheses about the life of the farmer's daughter who married our greatest poet. This is a daring, insightful book that asks new questions, opens new fields of investigation and research, and rights the wrongs done to Ann Shakespeare.
