We may never be able to know the truth - unless somehow a treasure trove of doc. Shortly after their marriage they had a daughter, Susanna. I know that Greer is known for impeccable researc. Both are some of my favorite writers on the bard, but I cannot argue with her conclusion that there is little evidence for the assertions they maintained and that she skewers. So cancer might be the truer cause of death. This may be dry for you in parts if you're not fascinated by Shakespeare, but for a Shakespeare geek its gold. She had the money. Synopsis. it's more of a restaurant than a supper club:)), A 3.5 star book for me. © 2020 Biography and the Biography logo are registered trademarks of A&E Television Networks, LLC. But her style is dry and staccato-like an older collge professor droning along, ignoring the hands raised to ask questions about his convoluted lecture. A 3.5 star book for me. Much of the speculation surrounding the nature of Anne and William's relationship and marriage stems from the contents of William's will, famously examined by Carol Ann Duffy in her 1999 poem, ‘Anne Hathaway', from her collection The World's Wife. Ann Wilson is best known as the vocalist for Heart, the rock band that became famous for songs like "Barracuda," "Crazy on You" and "What About Love.". There are so few records about the Shakespeares but by close analysis of the lives of their contemporaries, Greer manages to imagine a life for Ann Hathaway and her children quite apart from what most Shakespeare scholars have sentenced them too. Ann-Margret is a Swedish-born actress, singer and dancer who is best known for her roles in films such as 'Viva Las Vegas' and 'Carnal Knowledge.'.

And makes the point that they may not have had an unhappy marriage as every other (male) Shakespeare biographer takes for granted. It is a biography. Greer's conclusions are necessarily speculative because so little is known about Shakespeare's personal life and his relationship with his family. Particularly in this book, she has a very measured and well supported style that weaves a cross stitch of fact and speculation into an enjoyable tale. The book is basically what her life could possibly have been like, but she plays a small role even in the book.
