Shadowplay

by Claire Asquith

Grade: Good

Hard to read, though. It took me forever.
And I'm not totally sure about the validity of her claim. It seems to me about as reasonable as most Shakespearian theories, but most of those seem a little bit far fetched. But then, I'm no scholar. I don't properly know what makes theories reasonable. And I think she did have some good points. That era was so full of contraversy, that even if Shakespeare was a universal genius above contraversy, he would have realized that everyone watching his plays would have taken them as contraversial.
I need to read Joseph Pearce's book. I think that will cement my opinions in my mind more.
