Richard Paul Roe spent more than twenty years traveling the length
and breadth of Italy to seek out and document the exact locations
in which Shakespeare set his ten Italian Plays. Using as his
compass only the exact lines spoken by characters in each play, Roe
succeeded in pinpointing the location of nearly every scene in
"Romeo and Juliet", "Two Gentlemen of Verona", "The Merchant of
Venice", and others - and his captivating narrative of travel and
scholarship reveals surprises about "A Midsummer Night's Dream",
"The Tempest", and more, that will revolutionize the way we read
Shakespeare. An introduction by the author's daughter, Hilary Roe
Metternich, gives a behind-the-scenes look at her father's passion
for the Bard and the lengths to which he went in pursuit of
answers; and the copiously annotated, lavishly illustrated guide -
including more than 150 maps, photographs, and paintings - makes
for a richly compelling, deeply thought-provoking, and endlessly
inspiring journey through Shakespeare's Italy.
