"مَنْ يملك سلطة تحديد حقيقة الماضي؟ الإجابة عادة تكون المؤرخين، إلا في حالة شكسبير، فمن يحددها هم علماء شكسبير، نخبة من أساتذة الأدب الإنجليزي الذين يستمدون هيبتهم من تخصصهم، كهنة معبد الإله الذي يعطي للأدب الإنجليزي -كتخصص- سببًا لوجوده. عادة، يكون ا" Read more of this review »
Shakespeare Was a Woman and Other Heresies by Elizabeth Winkler
"Great read! My engineering brain had no idea there was so much controversy behind the authorship question. This was especially fun to read after recently seeing figures like Mary Sidney and Christopher Marlowe come to life in Shadow of Night."
Shakespeare Was a Woman and Other Heresies by Elizabeth Winkler
"Human beings want certainty. Mythology persists in the face of cold hard facts. Some of us are true believers, others can live with ambiguity. The case, for Shakespeare, being the sole author of the sonnets and plays, is in my opinion, flawed. Author" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Elizabeth Winkler  (?)

“Shakespeare’s First Folio. Below the title sits the famous portrait of Shakespeare known as the Droeshout portrait, after its engraver, Martin Droeshout. It is a famously awful portrait. Critics over the years have complained that the head is huge—“ much too big for the body.” The skull is of “horrible hydrocephalus development.” The mouth is too small. The ear is malformed. The hair is lopsided, like a bad wig.”
Elizabeth Winkler, Shakespeare Was a Woman and Other Heresies: How Doubting the Bard Became the Biggest Taboo in Literature

“a world where chocolate is entirely rare — or entirely mediocre — is a dystopia the likes of which we can scarcely conceive ["An Emotional History Of Chocolate," The Millions, January 5, 2015].”
Elizabeth Winkler

“Shakespeare wrote as one at ease in the multilingual circles of the European Renaissance.”
