Ruled Britannia by Harry Turtledove
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I'm a big fan of Harry Turtledove, and his amazing alternate histories, and Ruled Britannia, a tale of England had the Spanish Armada prevailed, is no exception. The novel is also a tale of an alternate Shakespeare, or rather a tale of what he might have done, had history been different. That his genius as a playwright and poet proves pivotal to the English resistance, is no surprise. I took great delight in that Shakespeare was "given the opportunity to pen his greatest work--a drama that will incite the people of Britain to rise against their persecutor--and change the course of history" (backcover).
Truly, this is an amazing novel. Highly recommended.
