This paper aims at probing into Avril Rowlands’s viewpoints on the two issues related to the Shakespeares in Mrs. Shakespeare ... The Poet’s Wife. The first issue is connected to the relationship between Hathaway and Shakespeare. The playwright dramatizes them as a married couple who generally lives in conjugal harmony despite their hardships. In that process, Rowlands criticizes many commentators including Stephen Greenblatt who justify Shakespeare and underestimate Hathaway. Besides, Rowlands’s play resembles, overstates, and contradicts some of Germaine Greer’s assertions in Shakespeare’s Wife. The second issue is connected to the Shakespeare Authorship Debate. Rowlands parodies anti-Stratfordians by extending their assertions extremely and postulating Hathaway as a true author. In that process, Rowlands attempts at the inflation of Hathaway as well as the deflation of Shakespeare. In other words, Anne is depicted as a genius playwright and poet while Shakespeare is depicted as just a player who establishes his fame due to his wife’s plays and sonnets. Besides, Rowlands maximizes various kinds of metadramatic devices and induces readers/audiences to consider the two issues dramatized in the play without being immersed in it. Therefore, Rowlands reveals her viewpoints on the two issues by portraying the relationship between the Shakespeares in a positive light and parodying anti-Stratfordian assertions while maximizing metadramatic devices.
