A Literary Mystery Four Centuries in the Making
What if the greatest playwright in history was actually a woman? In "By Any Other Name," Jodi Picoult weaves an audacious reimagining of literary history that challenges everything we thought we knew about Shakespeare. The novel introduces us to Emilia Bassano, a remarkable woman born in 1569 to Italian court musicians. Orphaned young and exceptionally educated for a woman of her time, Emilia possesses a brilliant mind in a society that values her only for her beauty. When circumstances force her into becoming a nobleman's mistress, she discovers an unexpected freedom - access to books, plays, and the literary world typically closed to women. The story alternates between Renaissance London and modern-day New York, where Melina Green, a struggling female playwright and Emilia's distant descendant, faces eerily similar barriers in the theater world. Both women must navigate systems designed to silence them, finding ingenious ways to ensure their words reach audiences - even if their names cannot be attached to them. Through their parallel journeys, we confront an uncomfortable question: how many women's voices have been erased from history's pages?
