Shakespeare for Every Day of the Year | Allie Esiri

pick

It took me 2 years to get through this just because I kept forgetting to read it at times, but I enjoyed every minute of it (and will probably start again tomorrow). This lovely tome takes the reader not just through the year, but through all of Shakespeare‘s works and throughout Shakespeare‘s life.

GingerAntics I especially loved the English and Shakespearean history woven throughout. If you are a fan of Shakespeare, you will enjoy this journey as much as I do.#Shakespeare #AllieEsiri #ShakespeareForEveryDayOfTheYear @Faibka 2y

batsy How lovely! I need to get this for 2024 💜 2y

GingerAntics @batsy I‘m not sure, but I think @Faibka finished it in 2021. It was a lovely read. 2y

This is a fun fact. Now I want to see if I can get my hands on a copy of this collaboration…or at least see a facsimile of it. It would be cool to see Shakespeare‘s handwriting.

Faibka Oh wow, that is interesting. 3y

GingerAntics @Faibka I never really thought about what his handwriting looked like before this, but it would certainly be something amazing to see. 3y

This is from The Rape of Lucrece, and is actually quite beautiful.

This is fitting... if a couple of days late.

HAPPY HAMLET DAY!!! (and St. Patrick‘s Day!!!) I have no idea how I managed to miss (all the times I‘ve watched and read this play) that Hamlet mentions St. Patrick.

I quite like this snippet of The Rape of Lucrece. I can‘t wait until we read it with #shakespearereadalong

HAPPY HAMLET DAY!!! A day late...even if it is pushy Laertes.

I can‘t remember if we talked about this when we read this in the #ShakespeareReadAlong #Shakespeare #AllieEsiri #ShakespeareForEveryDayOfTheYear @Faibka

Graywacke I think I learned this as I read the Signet afterward stuff. Disturbing and fascinating. 4y

GingerAntics @Graywacke it is disturbing, but also a hole in the argument by some that Shakespeare never did anything original. He does histories of the past, but he also brings in current events as it were. I just feel bad for poor Rodrigo Lopez. He probably didn‘t do anything to the Queen, but no one was about to actually check on that. Antisemitism ruled the day on that one. 4y

Graywacke @GingerAntics right. He was surely innocent. No one poisons a queen, certainly not a non-English physician dependent on royal patronage. Makes no sense. It‘s all political bloody maneuvering. 4y

Sometimes I wish I could tell my students to go sleep it off. 😏 We‘re setting them up to fail in so many ways with all this ridiculous sleep deprivation younger and younger.

TheBookHippie We have nap time at alternative school- just like in preschool. Let me tell you it works so well the grades are all better as are behavior and mood. 4y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie nap time is for everyone!!! There is a reason why so many societies have some version of the siesta. 4y

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics EXACTLY. Ugh 4y

Interesting, fun facts about R&J. The “Balcony Scene” has no balcony, and “wherefore” doesn‘t mean where. That certainly changes the meaning of that line. I‘ve read R&J three times, all in classes, and no one ever talked about the meaning of “wherefore.”
