#1 New York Times Bestseller • From the co-author of Mad Honey comes a sweeping tale of ambition, courage, and desire, following two women—centuries apart—who are both forced to hide behind another name to have their voices heard.
Young playwright Melina Green has penned a new work inspired by her Elizabethan ancestor, Emilia Bassano. But in a theater world where women face steep challenges, seeing her play performed feels like an impossible dream—until her best friend submits it to a festival under a male pseudonym.
In 1581, Emilia Bassano, a ward of English aristocrats, is gifted with wit and storytelling but denied a voice in a world dominated by men. Forced into a relationship with the Lord Chamberlain, she gains insight into the power of theater and forms a bold plan: to bring her own play to life by enlisting an actor named William Shakespeare to front her work.
Told in intertwining timelines, By Any Other Name explores the sacrifices and risks women take to create something enduring. Rooted in historical sources, this remarkable novel ensures Emilia Bassano’s story will no longer be forgotten.
