About the Author

John Ross is Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and a hospitalist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. His original investigation of Shakespeare's battles with syphilis drew international media attention, including coverage on Jon Stewart's The Daily Show.

Review

`These sorts of literary detective stories are always interesting, especially when they involve, as these do, lots of gossip and guessing games. Ross has the instincts of a storyteller... fascinating and bizarre... with the bonus that [his] informed speculations might well hit the bullseye a few times' * Herald * "Readers will find out more about these writers than they have ever known... [and] who knew there were (reasonably) effective treatments for venereal disease during the Renaissance?... Ross offers plenty of other surprising connections." * Kirkus Reviews * `Gripping and illuminating. Ross enters many different worlds and brings them to life.' * Evening Standard *
