Jude Morgan and The Secret Life of William Shakespeare

How well do you know the man you love? How much do you think you know about Shakespeare? What if they were one and the same? He is an ordinary man: unwilling craftsman, ambitious actor, resentful son, almost good-enough husband. And he is also a genius. The story of how a glove-maker from Warwickshire became the greatest writer of them all is vaguely known to most of us, but Jude Morgan, acclaimed author of Passion and The Taste of Sorrow, has taken Shakespeare’s life, and created a masterpiece.
The Secret Life of Shakespeare follows his two hugely critically acclaimed novels, A Taste of Sorrow on the Bronte sisters and Passion on the romantic poets. Jude Morgan was a student on the University of East Anglia MA course in Creative Writing under Malcolm Bradbury and Angela Carter
