Little is known about Ann Hathaway, the wife of England's greatest
playwright; a great deal has been assumed, none of it complimentary. In
Shakespeare's Wife, Germaine Greer boldly breaks new ground,
reclaiming this much maligned figure from generations of scholarly
neglect and misogyny. With deep insight and intelligence, she offers
daring and thoughtful new theories about the farmer's daughter who
married Britain's immortal Bard, painting a vivid portrait of a truly
remarkable woman.
