| Description | Mary Cowden Clark was an intelligent 19th century woman from a privileged background who was inspired to educate young girls in Victorian Britain. Together with her husband, she became an editor of Shakespeare’s works but also wrote these short stories based on Shakespeare’s heroines, focusing on their childhood. Apart from the names, her heroines didn’t have anything to do with Shakespeare but introduced the young female readers to Shakespeare’s world. Early fan fiction. |
