Shakespeare’s Wife, by Germaine Greer

“It is remarkable how private a man Shakespeare was. We have no letters of his or of his wife’s; there are no terms of endearment in his will or elsewhere. The plays contain much about courtship and dysfunctional marriage but nothing substantial about functioning marriage. Literary scholars have struggled to make what they can of the few pieces of documentation that survive about Shakespeare’s married life with Ann Hathaway. Their intellectual world and the world of social history (which can illuminate the conditions of the Shakespeares’ life together, if not its inner meaning) have long been kept distinct. Germaine Greer wants to bring these two worlds together.” Read the review at the Times Literary Supplement.

The oil companies say with some justification that the state-owned companies don’t produce oil and natural gas as well as they – Big Oil – can. They say that means less and less supply – or at least not as much supply as might be expected – from these countries in the coming years. That’s important, especially since tight global supplies are one reason for $95-a-barrel oil right now." [ Read the rest of the interview ]
