Imagining Shakespeare's Wife considers how we have used Anne Hathaway as a lens for understanding William Shakespeare.
I read halfway through Imagining Shakespeare's Wife and elected to not finish it.
The research is amazing and the author covers every imaginable aspect of Anne Hathaway, from the scanty historical records to the many ways she has been portrayed over time.
This scholarly work will be of interest to serious researchers but is not for the general reader.
I sincerely thank the publisher for allowing me access to the book.

For those who are very interested in everything Royal, and especially Queen Elizabeth, this book focusing on her childhood and younger years will satisfy. How the princess was raised, the people in her early life and their stories, and more than I ever wanted to know is presented.
It is a bit overwhelming to me, such minute detail! I am more into Queen Victoria than the modern royals, although I have watched The Crown and such. And the book opens with Elizabeth learning of her father's death, just like in The Crown.
It was interesting to learn how Elizabeth was raised and the values she inherited.
I received a free ebook from Thistle Publishing.
