Plus: Handsome Dan in "Midsummer"
I devoured Caroline Bicks's book and will post my interview with her about it next week. One of the things I asked her was, "Where the hell were you when I was writing about Stephen King and Romeo & Juliet a year and a half ago???" https://www.folger.edu/blogs/shakespeare-and-beyond/steeped-in-blood-the-doomed-youth-of-shakespeare-and-stephen-king/
Looking forward to reading!
Thanks for the mention!
Thank you for the brilliant post! The Selina Hastings Loathly Lady/Gawain book was a favorite growing up, loved learning more.
Thank you, Kate - it's such a great (disturbing) story!
The "Marlowe" quote is correctly attributed to Rep. Martin Dies of Texas, Early Chair of the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities in questioning Hallie Flannagan of the WPA Federal Theatre Project.
McCarthy came along later, after WWII.
Yes, both linked articles attribute the quote to Rep. Joe Starnes of Alabama questioning Hallie Flanagan (sp).
