Sull'Autore
Harry Turtledove was born in Los Angeles, California on June 14, 1949. He received a Ph.D. in Byzantine history from UCLA in 1977. From the late 1970's to the early 1980's, he worked as a technical writer for the Los Angeles County Office of Education. He left in 1991 to become full-time writer. mostra altro His first two novels, Wereblood and Werenight, were published in 1979 under the pseudonym Eric G. Iverson because his editor did not think people would believe that Turtledove was his real name. He used this name until 1985 when he published Herbig-Haro and And So to Bed under his real name. He has received numerous awards including the Homer Award for Short Story for Designated Hitter in 1990, the John Esthen Cook Award for Southern Fiction for Guns of the Southand in 1993, and the Hugo Award for Novella for Down in the Bottomlands in 1994.

Turtledove si è ben documentato per scrivere questo romanzo e, sebbene stiamo parlando di puro intrattenimento, Per il trono d’Inghilterra fa egregiamente il suo lavoro. Da profana ho trovato la ricostruzione storica alternativa credibile e mi è pure dispiaciuto che Marlowe non sia stato più fortunato nemmeno in questa versione.
L’unica pecca che fa vacillare la verosimiglianza del romanzo è stata la scelta di Turtledove di concentrare la storia per lo più dal punto di vista di Shakespeare, al quale i congiurati assegnano il compito di scrivere un’opera che accenda la miccia della rivolta degli inglesi contro gli oppressori spagnoli. Il fatto di non vedere quanto la congiura sia ramificata dà la sensazione che la miccia non abbia granché da accendere.
Immagino che la scelta sia dovuta anche al fatto che altrimenti questo libro sarebbe stato lungo mille pagine (e, facendo la storia alternativa di questa recensione, probabilmente mi starei lamentando della sua eccessiva lunghezza), ma manca un po’ di cospirazioni su larga scala, mentre dà un’ottima rappresentazione di cosa voglia dire trovarsi in mezzo a giochi di potere che potrebbero costare più della vita.… (altro)
