By Any Other Name

'It is hard to exaggerate how well Picoult writes.' Financial Times. By Any Other Name moves between present-day New York City and Elizabethan England, weaving together the lives of a young playwright, living a lie in order to see her work performed, and Emilia Bassano, the first woman in England to assert herself as a professional poet and believed by some to be the true author of several of William Shakespeare's work.
