This was a wonderful "speculative biography." By no means the most scholarly work, Burgess often fabricates entire scenarios based on what's plausible for the times and what details we do know. However, he is happy to let you know when he's going off on a limb, and it's so well-written that I can't help but not care much if it's one part fantasy for two parts fact. In fact, I think that's what made it so readable. Definitely recommend it.
Jess_Read_This Hello! It appears you are a fan of Shakespeare? ☺️ If you ever would like to join a small group read; a few of us Littens are reading through his work together. Currently we are reading Much Ado About Nothing and we have Hamlet up next. @readinginthedark has kindly led us through the reading schedule and we all discuss. No pressure, but thought you might be interested! Our current discussion is on the #MAANReadalong tag. 7y
TotallyPretentious I absolutely am! That sounds wonderful. I'm actually currently making my way through all of his plays. I'm on Henry VI part 2 at the moment. But on my YouTube channel, I'll be posting a video about Hamlet this week for a read-along of fifteen Shakespeare plays I'm doing there. So, I'd be happy to join you for that! 7y
Jess_Read_This @LuukashistBooks Terrific! Check @readinginthedark 's account for the schedule posting for Hamlet. 😄 Glad you can join us! 7y

readinginthedark Perfect! I should be posting it next week while we‘re discussing the last Act of Much Ado About Nothing. 😊 I hope you don‘t mind that we go a little slowly so it doesn‘t interfere with our other reading and responsibilities, but the discussion has been fun so far! 7y
readinginthedark @Jess_Read_This Do you think we should change the hashtag for each play or pick a permanent one for the rest of them? 7y
readinginthedark Also, welcome to Litsy! This is a fun review! 😆 7y
TotallyPretentious @readinginthedark Great! This sounds like a lot of fun! 7y
