Alleanze, assedi, battaglie, suppliche e tentativi diplomatici si susseguono, ma le porte di Firenze non si riapriranno: il vento dei tempi soffia contro il Poeta, in cerca di rifugio e di aiuto, mentre la moglie Gemma, i figli e gli amici ne seguono con ansia le peripezie.

The 1590s were bleak years for England. The queen was old, the succession unclear, and the treasury empty after decades of war. Amid the rising tension, William Shakespeare published a pair of poems dedicated to the young Earl of Southampton: Venus and Adonis in 1593 and The Rape of Lucrece a year later. Although wildly popular during Shakespeare's lifetime, to modern readers both works are almost impenetrable. But in her enthralling new book, the Shakespearean scholar Clare Asquith reveals their hidden contents.
