As William Shakespeare is once more in the spotlight at the Oscars, let's revisit how he became a stable of literary curriculum.

Did you know it wasn't always in the stars that Shakespeare's work would enjoy the fame that it does today?

Did you know that there was a Shakespeare Ladies Club in Georgian Britain that helped resurrect his work from being the proverbial footnote in history?

Let's find out more about these she-heroes from the authors of the book - published by Amberley - that tells this enigmatic tale.

Hamnet, Shakespeare in Love, take note...

Welcome, Christine and Jonathan!
