"In time so long ago begins our play / In
star-crossed galaxy far, far away."

regularly dominates surveys of the greatest
literature of all time, he remains a surprisingly controversial
figure of literary history – while some believe The Bard profoundly
changed modern life, others question whether
he wrote anything at all. Doubts of authorship aside, one thing
Shakespeare most certainly didn't write is the cult-classic Star Wars – but he, as Ian Doescher
brilliantly imagines, could
have: Behold William Shakespeare's
Star Wars (public library), a
masterwork of literary parody on par with the household
tips of famous writers and Edgar Allan Poe
as an Amazon reviewer.
