William Shakespeare

Washington Square Press, 2003

Mac-Good for Mac-Shakespeare

+ Playwright vs. Poet: the Playwright wins.
+ Folger is a good series

I'll admit, it's hard for me to get into Shakespeare (so go stone me in the streets, you drama geeks). Yet, this play is a killer.....literally. I mean, they need to make this into a movie nowadays-all the battle scenes, all the drama, all the Scottish accents. This play is the epitome of ...

The Taming of the Shrew (The New Folger Library Shakespeare)4 reviews
William Shakespeare

Washington Square Press, 2004

Irony, brilliant irony

+ A hilarious play of the battle between the sexes.
+ A comedy of wit, But not Shakespeare's Best

This is a show piece for Shakespeare's ability to portray the human condition. It is about wanting what isn't what we think it is, not wanting what is as it seems, marrrying out of pragmatism and finding love, loving blindly and not finding love, the impact of social pressure on love, the impact ...
