Publisher's Note
Jessica Pruitt, a popular Hollywood actress and aficionado of Shakespeare, is transported to the sixteenth century where she becomes the inspiration behind the great poet's most enigmatic work

Industry Reviews
"Among the chief pleasures of Jong's work is that her command of the words, the names, the quotes, is sustained at such a stratospheric level. She's always got a word for it....Erica Jong's whippy trans-historical shuttle both dazzles and amuses. What's more, her delving into life in the Venetian ghetto of Elizabethan times is both moving and arresting, and her access to the plight of a heroine approaching middle age in a male-directed celluloid world where the starlets must never droop or wrinkle is a shiningly serious subtext always threatening to command the tale."
Times Literary Supplement - Valentine Cunningham (09/18/1987)
