Anne Hath a Way

No, not that Anne Hathaway. The Shakespearean one.

Topics in this episode include Socratididion’s Epipsychidion, unparalleled pettiness, Stephen’s unfair characterization of Shakespeare’s wife Anne Hathaway, why commentary about Anne Hathaway has been so problematic historically, Anne as a Gertrude stand-in, how we can learn factual information about the Shakespeares’ lives, sixteenth century age gap discourse, Anne and Will’s marriage prospects, “Venus and Adonis,” marriage and weddings in Elizabethan England, how Anne Hathaway became a symbol of Victorian propaganda, Shakespeare and the “Scylla and Charybdis” schema, and why Ulysses is a terrible place to go to learn about Shakespeare’s life.
