Don’t spring John Madden’s Shakespeare in Love on any unsuspecting English majors unless they’ve got a sense of humor about the use of dramatic license or Elizabethan anachronisms when dealing with their beloved Bard of Avon. Shakespeare in Love fictionalizes and romanticizes a particular period in the early playwrighting career of the young poet. As a romance, the movie is awash in lovely people and graceful speeches, but, for those in the know about the few facts we actually have about the man of the title, the film’s considerable success  really depends on our ignoring the known data about the writer for the sake of this entertainment.
