Greer correctly highlights the paucity of direct evidence for Shakespeare & exposes the 'fictional' nature of his 'biographies'. Background information from the Elizabethan period is routinely used to inform a 'life' into which a mirror image of the biography's author (his/her ideal Bard) is peremptorily plonked. Greer then carefully studies her mirror to find the ideal 'wife' & falls into the same pit. Let's face it she's the first blind writer to fall into this one. However, what we learn about Anna Shakespeare, factually, is slight at best. The rest is pure Greerian wishful thinking. However, given that warning, its a great book to read because it provides a way of accessing Anne Hathaway's role in the 'marriage'. Fiction, but interesting. M.M. Bennett
