“Tarquin of Cheapside”
Historical fiction set in London in the 1600s. The opening action, with two men chasing a third, is beautifully written. At the end of the story we are asked to believe that the quarry is a young William Shakespeare, and that his long poem, “The Rape of Lucrece”, is actually a spontaneously written BOAST, which reframes Shakespeare as a detestable villain.
