Other scholars will no doubt snicker at Greer's theories - particularly her final assertion that Anne financed the posthumous publishing of Shakespeare's "First Folio," which included 36 plays, 18 of which had not been published before, like The Tempest and Macbeth.

"Who would have thought that the person who was considered the most faithful woman in the world struggled like that with her faith?" he asks. "And who would have...
...lowest number since 2005. That shortfall sounded even grimmer against the government's announcement in July that 22,700 civil service jobs will be eliminated next year. The French then learned that second quarter 2007 economic growth was half of what had been expected, causing many economists to openly doubt that official growth forecasts of 2.25% for the year could be met. Then, as panicked world financial markets reacting to the U.S. real estate and credit meltdown sent worry throughout French society, France's highest legal body struck down a key aspect of a previously passed Sarkozy tax reform intended...
