Writers Bloc with Elizabeth Winkler: Shakespeare Was A Woman and Other Heresies | May 9
- This event has passed.
Tuesday, May 9, 2023 — 7:30 pm
Shakespeare’s personal biography has mystified academics. armchair fans, and experts for centuries. So what happens when a scholar, or an actor, or any authority, suggests that perhaps those immortal plays weren’t all written by Shakespeare? Was the author an anonymous aristocrat? Or a spy? Perhaps a woman?
Elizabeth Winkler, author of Shakespeare Was A Woman and Other Heresies, explores with humor, fun, and hell-bent detection, all sorts of possibilities. But that’s only part of it. Winkler does much more than suggest alternatives; she delves into why doubters have been castigated, and thrown to the literary curb. No matter what side you’re on, Shakespeare Was A Woman And Other Heresies is more than a detective book for fans of Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets—it’s a fascinating and truly entertaining analysis of literary and cultural history.
