The Player Gods (ePub)

Dr. Kenneth Tucker was born December 2, 1940, in Louisville, Kentucky. He received his B. A. (1963) and his M.A (1965) from the University of Louisville. In 1970 he received his Ph. D. from the University of Kentucky. In that same year he was employed by Murray State University, Murray, Kentucky, where was promoted to full professor and continued to teach until his full retirement in 2001. His academic specialties are Shakespeare and literature of the Renaissance—fields in which he remains active.

He has written articles on such diverse writers as H. G. Wells, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Shakespeare, C. S. Lewis, H. P. Lovecraft, Thomas Middleton, John Ford, and Beaumont and Fletcher. He has reviewed books and British productions of Shakespeare's plays for the Shakespeare Newsletter.

Upon retiring, Dr. Tucker has devoted himself to writing, producing Eliot Ness and the Untouchables,(2n.ed, 2012) and Shakespeare and Jungian Typology (2003). Among his novels are A Wilderness of Tigers (2005), based upon the savage rampage of Kentucky's Harpe brothers, The Grave and the Figure Eight (2006), a retelling of the Tristan-Isolde story set in Kentucky, and The Fall of the House of Spade, (2007) a tale of murder and revenge set in Western Kentucky. A Kentucky Colonel in King Arthur's Court (2006) is a very different sort of novel, a comical fantasy. The Madonna of Shadows and Darkness, (2008) is a supernatural thriller and spiritual allegory, is set in contemporary Louisville. His Kentucky-set Civil War novel I Pray the Lord My Soul to Keep appeared in 2010. His latest novel is Hell Is Where the Heart Is (2012), a spoof of university administrative life.
