📚 Finished the #Marlowe biography "Dark Renaissance" by #Greenblatt last week. It is not for the faint hearted, but I found it easier to read than the #Shakespeare biography. There is still a lot of conjecture - always explained - but it seems more flowing. What a character!
No idea how anyone in London survived that era but maybe it explains some aspects of English society.
I highly recommend reading this book, but you should read "Will in the world" first!

Intervista all’ex inviato speciale in Medio Oriente del tycoon: “Chi pensa che si farà influenzare dai sondaggi elettorali, non ha capito come opera il presidente”

Greenblatt: “The regime is divided, Trump wants to see if he is able to make a deal and maintain it.”

Interview with the tycoon’s former special envoy to the Middle East: “Anyone who thinks they will be influenced by election polls hasn’t understood how the president operates.”

📚 I finished reading the Shakespeare biography "Will in the world" by S. #Greenblatt. I found the 1st half heavy going which is not the author's fault but due to the absence of information on WS's personal life. It all paid off in the 2nd half where the circumstantial conjectures from the 1st (which always come with a warning 👍 ) helped to strengthen some theories about the plays. I got new perspectives from the book and am glad I persevered until the 2nd half. Recommend.
