About the author
Roma Gill
54 books5 followersRoma Gill, died aged 66, was a noted Shakespeare and Marlowe scholar. In 1977 she found a new career editing more than 30 texts, including three titles in the Oxford Marlowe and 21 titles in the Oxford School Shakespeare series. Her clear notes and introductions made the language and the plays intelligible to young readers all over the world.
Roma was always faithful to the text and the period in which Shakespeare wrote. Theories that Viola, in Twelfth Night, was depressed, or that Katherine's speech at the end of The Taming Of The Shrew is ironic, were all crushed and referred back to the context of Tudor England. She also wrote numerous scholarly articles and reviews, lectured widely, and was an inspiration to the many students she taught.
