Publisher Description Excellent. - New StatesmanOutstanding. - Irish TimesEnthralling. - GuardianShapiro at his best. - Daily TelegraphFrom the author of 1599, a fresh perspective on the history of the United States - and a timely reminder of Shakespeares indelible influence.Shakespeares position as Englands national poet is unquestionable. But as James Shapiro illuminates in this revelatory new history, Shakespeare has long held an essential place in American culture too. Why, though, would a proudly independent republic embrace Englands greatest writer? Especially when his works enact so many of Americas darkest nightmares: interracial marriage, cross-dressing, same-sex love, tyranny and assassination? Shapiro leads us to fascinating answers and startling stories. Author Biography James Shapiro is Professor of English at Columbia University, where he teaches Shakespeare.
