Before Shakespeare in Love, there was Anthony Burgess's Nothing Like the Sun: a magnificent, bawdy telling of Shakespeare's love life.
This is a novel about Shakespeare. Not however Shakespeare the artist, but Shakespeare the lover. Through the distorted vision of a university lecturer, the truth about Shakespeare's sex life emerges.
