Reviews

On Jun 5 2011, Pastorpest said:
Author Stephanie Nolen engages a number of first rate scholars, especially Shakespeare scholars whose essays provide significant insight of why Shakespeare remains so important to us. Also the evidence for and against the Sanders portrait is presented in a balanced and entertaining way.
