Death By Shakespeare: Snakebites, Stabbings and Broken Hearts
A book for anyone with an interest in science, death, Elizabethan literature and British history – or all of the above
It’s hard to imagine exactly who the target audience of Death By Shakespeare really is; the crossover of interests between science, death, Elizabethan literature, and British history is surely a relatively small one. I’m not entirely sure what it says about me, therefore, that it’s a niche I happen to fall squarely into – and I’m thrilled to say Kathryn Harkup hasn’t disappointed.
