Description

Shakespeare's Wife by Germaine Greer is a compelling exploration of the life and marriage of England's greatest playwright. For centuries, his wife has been largely overlooked, with many assuming she was an unfortunate mistake from which he distanced himself. In this insightful book, Greer combines literary-historical techniques with documentary evidence to re-examine the story of Shakespeare's marriage in its social context. Greer presents a new set of hypotheses about the life and career of Ann Shakespeare, the farmer's daughter who married our greatest poet. By shedding light on her story, Greer aims to right the wrongs done to this often-misunderstood figure. This book is a significant contribution to our understanding of Shakespeare's world and his place within it. Through her meticulous research, Greer offers a fresh perspective on one of literature's most enduring mysteries.
