A vibrant tale of a remarkable woman'' KIRKUS **** What if the greatest writer of all time isn''t who we think he is? What if he isn''t even a he? Step back four hundred years and discover the female author who hid behind the mask of the man we know as William Shakespeare . . . In Elizabethan London, young Emilia Bassano is a ward of English aristocrats. Her education has endowed her with a sharp wit and a gift for storytelling, but still she is allowed no voice of her own. Forced to become a mistress to the Lord Chamberlain, who oversees the theatre, Emilia discovers the power of stories to beguile audiences. Secretly, she forms a plan to bring a play of her own to the stage - by paying an actor named William Shakespeare to front her work. In modern-day Manhattan, playwright Melina Green finds a woman''s voice is still worth less than a man''s. But, inspired by the life of her ancestor Emilia Bassano, Melina takes a lesson from history and submits a play under a male pseudonym . . . Moving between Elizabethan England and modern day Manhattan, By Any Other Name is a beautifully written, compelling novel that explores the theme of identity and the ways in which two women, centuries apart--one of whom might just be the real author of Shakespeare''s plays--are both forced to hide behind another name to make their voices heard. PRAISE FOR JODI PICOULT ''A writer the world needs to be reading right now'' Independent ''It is hard to exaggerate how well Picoult writes'' Financial Times ''She is the master of her craft'' Daily Telegraph ''There are writers who try and do what Picoult does, and then there''s Picoult'' Marie Claire<>
