Shakespearean Detectives: Murders and Mysteries Based on Shakespeare’s Life and Plays (1998) by Mike Ashley (ed. Sun77)
Requirements: ePUB reader, 2.25 Mb
Overview: Like its predecessor, this anthology is inspired by Shakespeare’s comedies, tragedies and histories. Characters and incidents are lifted from the plays and refashioned into whodunnits which stand on their own as mystery stories and, at the same time, throw new light on old dramas. This volume differs from Shakespearean Whodunnits in that it also includes stories which relate to unattributed plays, all of which have their supporters among scholars as the work — at least in part — of the Bard of Avon. These tales take us down less familiar paths and thereby help to deepen the mystery.
