Anne Feversham by J. C. Snaith
"Anne Feversham" by J. C. Snaith is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the time of William Shakespeare, the story revolves around the iconic playwright and his interactions with key characters, including a young noblewoman, Anne Feversham. The narrative intricately weaves themes of love, societal constraints, and the consequences of actions within a vibrant historical backdrop. The opening of "Anne Feversham" introduces the distinguished actor and playwright,William Shakespeare, as he enters a tailor's shop in Nottingham. Through his conversation with the tailor, a dire sense of foreboding arises regarding the execution of a young man, Mr. Gervase Heriot, accused of plotting against the Queen. In a chance encounter, Shakespeare meet the spirited Anne Feversham, who showcases her audacity and rebellious spirit, especially with her choice of attire that defies societal norms for women of her status. Tension mounts as Anne's disdain for actors and her father's harsh views come into conflict with her growing admiration for Shakespeare and an emerging sense of independence, suggesting rich character dynamics and impending drama as the story unfolds.
