Fiction | Historical
Judith is talented, creative, and driven to accomplish great
things. But, alas, she has one “shortcoming” that stands in
her way—she’s a woman. Set in sixteenth-century England, The Other Shakespeare
tells the tale of Judith Shakespeare, older sister to the
famous William, as she struggles to develop her talent and
gain acceptance in a world that won’t recognize her because
of her gender. Consistently denied her independence, she’s
forced to engage in extreme measures to get what she wants
out of life—and to make difficult decisions that will shock
and surprise you. Written in the vein of character transplant novels like
Grendel, Ahab’s Wife, and What Happened to Anna K, Lea
Rachel’s novel brings new life to a character that first
appeared in another publication. Judith Shakespeare was
originally introduced in acclaimed author Virginia Woolf’s
masterpiece A Room of One’s Own—and now Judith’s full story
is told in this speculative piece, which answers the
ultimate question, “What if Shakespeare had been born a woman?” A must-read for Woolf and Shakespeare fans alike, The Other
Shakespeare combines history, social issues, and drama in a
compelling story that will thoroughly entertain and enlighten.
