Book excerpt: “Lively, rigorous, fiercely imagined...an ingenious new book...” — Katie Roiphe, New York Times Book Review “Fascinating...Greer meticulously exposes the sexist biases underlying depictions of Ann...and re-creates in lavish detail the material realities of women’s lives in 16th century England.” — Entertainment Weekly “A riveting read...Not only Greer’s scholarship but her sympathy and her imagination are fully engaged.” — Victoria Glendinning “A richly textured account...Greer’s theory about Shakespeare’s relation with his wife is original and persuasive...She reminds us of facts other critics have ignored.” — Marilyn French, Publishers Weekly (Boxed Signature Review) “Intriguing . . . A portrait of life in Stratford circa 1600 on almost every level and in every aspect.” — Booklist

Book excerpt: Race relations are one of the most fraught issues in the world. Almost everywhere in the world where different races rub against each other there is racism and friction. The problem is most acute with displaced indigenous people. White Australia - with the history of its terrible treatment of the Aborigines is an extreme case study. In this brilliant essay, Germaine Greer shows how it could, should and must be different. The problem is not the Aborigines but the 'settler society' and what it has done to the country. She shows how Australians must embrace their aboriginality. By extension the argument applies to the whole world and to the unequal relationships between people. But as always with Germaine Greer it is argued with wit, humour, anger, passion, and superbly memorable prose. Germaine Greer is worth reading on any subject; she is at her most powerful and polemical when faced with real wrongs that need righting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the site of literary pilgrimage since the eighteenth century, the home of the Royal Shakespeare Company and the topic of hundreds of imaginary portrayals, Stratford is ripe for analysis, both in terms of its factual existence and its fictional afterlife. The essays in this volume consider the various manifestations of the physical and metaphorical town on the Avon, across time, genre and place, from America to New Zealand, from children’s literature to wartime commemorations. We meet many Stratfords in this collection, real and imaginary, and the interplay between the two generates new visions of the place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Without William Shakespeare, we wouldn’t have literary masterpieces like Romeo and Juliet. But without Henry Condell and John Heminges, we would have lost half of Shakespeare’s plays forever! After the death of their friend and mentor, the two actors are determined to compile the First Folio and preserve the words that shaped their lives. They’ll just have to borrow, beg, and band together to get it done. Amidst the noise and color of Elizabethan London, THE BOOK OF WILL finds an unforgettable true story of love, loss, and laughter, and sheds new light on a man you may think you know.
