shannon_b's review against another edition
4.0
The first 100 pages are excellent.
The next not so much, which focus a lot more on Shakespeare than I expected, but is understandable considering the author’s background. The final 100 pages are a bit of a jumble of themes, though that may be representative of the changing elements of the time. However the clarity of the first third of the book makes me doubt that.
It’s the final two pages that jumped up this book a star for me. The author’s claim to have been writing this book to bring a depth of understanding to the multicultural elements of Elizabethan history and to promote tolerance in our own times is enough of a reason to make this book worth reading.
Overall too much literary analysis but impressively researched and with well communicated ideas I’m not sure I’d recommend the book but I’m glad I read it.
