Until I read this book, I had not been aware of the extent of the cult of Shakespeare, which Greer calls 'Bardolatry', and which naming doesn't prevent her from using the insufferably pretentious moniker for Shakespeare in her own book. But of course it's understandable that the greatest English language writer, and arguably the greatest writer ever will generate not only huge amounts of scholarship relating to his work, but also endless biographical and gossipy speculation about his personal life.
