How William Shakespeare and Emilia Bassano-Lanier Invented Romantic Love
Paul Kauffman
This short book is an amazing new study of Shakespeare’s complex inner life, drawing on his sonnets, plays and personal history. The book also studies the poetry, prose and sexual conquests of the highly educated, multilingual and musical Emilia Bassano-Lanier who was mistress of Shakespeare’s patron and Shakespeare’s most probable muse.
