Description
Advance Praise
“This fast-paced and entertaining novel imagines a young Will Shakespeare as an (unwilling) spy for Her Majesty’s government in Venice in 1585. Successful here on all fronts: dialogue, plot, and characters.” - Christian Science Monitor [Praise for The Spy of Venice]
“A playful and inventive debut. The dialogue is wonderful, and Will’s banter with his fellow actors sparkles.” - The Times (London) [Praise for The Spy of Venice]
“Shakespeare! The lunatic, the lover, the poet. The spy. Royal Shakespeare Company rhetoric coach Brandreth brings considerable expertise to his subject in a story rich in humor and intrigue. The dialogue and characters borrow heavily and delightfully from the Bard himself. Bravo!” - Booklist (starred) [Praise for The Spy of Venice]
“What if William Shakespeare was an intelligence agent before he became a playwright? That’s the clever premise of Brandreth’s impressive first novel. Brandreth plausibly and imaginatively fills a gap in the historical record of the Bard’s life.” - Publishers Weekly (starred) [Praise for The Spy of Venice]
