What people are saying:
“If in some parallel universe Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman had collaborated with A.C. Bradley, they might imaginably have come up with a novel both as funny and as intellectually exciting as A.J. Hartley’s Burning Shakespeare. But I doubt it.”
Professor Michael Dobson, Director of the Shakespeare Institute, Stratford-Upon-Avon
Shakespeare’s works are being wiped from history – and only a group of ill-assorted dead people can save them! This whimsical romp from now to Shakespeare’s day, via Hell, wears its learning lightly, but is as illuminating as funny. Highly recommended!
Tiffany Stern Fellow of the British Academy, General Editor, Arden Shakespeare: 4
“Beelzebub, Belial, Shakespeare, and the academy: what could go wrong? Burning Shakespeare does just what novels featuring Shakespeare fail to do, taking readers on a wild, witty, sometimes even poignant ride, leaving us with the faint scent of brimstone, too.”
W. B. Worthen, Alice Brady Pels Professor in the Arts, Barnard College, Columbia University
