A writer who surpassed his contemporaries in  vision, originality and literary mastery. Who wrote like an angel,  putting it all so much better than anyone else.\r\n\r\n   Is this Shakespeare? Well, sort of.   But  it doesn't really tell us the whole truth. So much of what we say about  Shakespeare is either not true, or just not relevant, deflecting us  from investigating the challenges of his inconsistencies and flaws.\r\n\r\n This  electrifying new book thrives on revealing, not resolving, the  ambiguities of Shakespeare's plays and their changing topicality. It  introduces an intellectually, theatrically and ethically exciting writer  who engages with intersectionality as much as with Ovid, with economics  as much as poetry: who writes in strikingly modern ways about  individual agency, privacy, politics, celebrity and sex. It takes us  into a world of politicking and copy-catting, as we watch him emulating  the blockbusters of Christopher Marlowe and Thomas Kyd, the Spielberg  and Tarantino of their day  flirting with and skirting round the  cut-throat issues of succession politics, religious upheaval and  technological change.\r\n\r\n The Shakespeare in this book poses awkward  questions rather than offering bland answers, always implicating us in  working out what it might mean.   This is Shakespeare. And he needs your attention.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
