Book description
The greatest writer of them all, brought to glorious life. How well do
you know the man you love? How much do you think you know about
Shakespeare? What if they were one and the same? He is an ordinary man:
unwilling craftsman, ambitious actor, resentful son, almost good-enough
husband. And he is also a genius. The story of how a glove-maker from
Warwickshire became the greatest writer of them all is vaguely known to
most of us, but it would take an exceptional modern novelist to bring
him to life. And now at last Jude Morgan, acclaimed author of Passion
and The Taste of Sorrow, has taken Shakespeare's life, and created a
masterpiece. Jude Morgan, whose previous novels include PASSION and
THE TASTE OF SORROW, was born and brought up in Peterborough on the edge
of the Fens, and was a student on the University of East Anglia MA
Course in Creative Writing under Malcolm Bradbury and Angela Carter.
