WHERE GOT’ST
THOU THAT GOOSE LOOK?
I was
introduced to Shakespeare by my high school English teacher, Miss Long, back in
the late 1950’s. She required us to
read The Comedy of Errors; and I
waded my way through, though not understanding form or meter.
For years I
have had The Complete Work, with the intention of someday reading more; but so
far that has amounted to two histories, three tragedies and four comedies. (Love’s Labour’s
Lost)
I recently
purchased William Shakespeare without the
boring bits, commentaries by Peter Ackroyd.
It is an excellent read to refresh myself
with the works I have read, and to introduce, in compact form, works I may (or
may not) want to read.
and nothing
is but what is not.

Interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds brilliant! I have long said that what Shakespeare needs is a really strict editor to cut out all the crap. And I love Peter Ackroyd as an author too -- he's just the guy to do it.
