The 1590s were bleak years for England. The queen was old, the succession unclear, and the treasury empty after decades of war. Amid the rising tension, William Shakespeare published a pair of poems dedicated to the young Earl of Southampton: Venus and Adonis in 1593 and The Rape of Lucrece a year later. Although wildly popular during Shakespeare's lifetime, to modern readers both works are almost impenetrable. But in her enthralling new book, the Shakespearean scholar Clare Asquith reveals their hidden contents.

Macbeth and his wife show how bad the evil that can possess human souls is. But evil is not all powerful. On the one hand, Macbeth is the gloomiest of the great Shakespeare's tragedies; on the other hand, it's more encouraging than Hamlet, Othello or King Lear. In no other tragedy as in Macbeth the evil is confronted by so many people, and nowhere else they are so active. Shakespeare is the author of the world famous sonnets and plays: Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth and Othello, as well as comedies Twelfth Night, A Midsummer's Night Dream, Love's Labour's Lost, etc.

Tutto soggiace alla falce del Tempo, che ruba le cose care all'uomo. Solo nella poesia si può crearle di nuovo. All'alba del XXI secolo, dopo un sonno pluricentenario, viene ritrovato e battuto all'asta a Vienna il dramma perduto di Shakespeare: una trilogia teatrale su Dante Alighieri. Si scopre così che, per riuscire nell'impresa impossibile di raccontare il Sommo Poeta e la sua Divina Commedia, ci voleva il Sommo Drammaturgo: il genio di Stratford ha narrato l'intera vita di Dante intrecciandola con la trama del suo capolavoro, con le immagini sconvolgenti di Inferno, Purgatorio e Paradiso.
