| - Shakespeare's Wife is a book by feminist academic Germaine Greer which was first published in 2007 by Bloomsbury. The book is a biography of Anne Hathaway, the wife of English poet and playwright William Shakespeare who was born in Shottery, a former small village within Stratford-upon-Avon. At the time of its publication, very little was known about Hathaway with most information being sourced from historic legal documents. Greer, in addition to discussing the content of Hathaway's life, also outlines various aspects of a provincial Elizabethan woman's life as a means to understand the lifestyle she likely led. The book also talks in-depth about the marriage between William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway and challenges various theories surrounding it. Greer also argues that Hathaway was likely literate and, based on the standing of their families in Warwickshire, may have been regarded as a more desirable match when compared to husband. (en)
