Shakespeare for Every Day of the Year

Product Information

The small excerpts and snippets were really interesting at times, but for the most part I came away wishing I had spent my time going through the actual plays and sonnets slowly rather than reading this.

Shakespeare for Every Day of the Year by Allie Esiri | Goodreads Shakespeare for Every Day of the Year by Allie Esiri | Goodreads

The almanac-style format provides a manageable way to get into reading or re-reading the Bard's works. Esiri, also behind the iF Poetry app, The Love Book app, and several anthologies including A Poem for Every Day of the Year, and A Poem for Every Night of the Year, again applies her deft skill in making poetry both accessible and exciting; there are sonnets, extracts from his 37 plays and sections of longer poems. Will most likely not slog through Milton, but reading a little Shakespeare each day this year has been fun. It would work well for a classroom, tying in Shakespeare excerpts to other events, such as the Oscar-themed entry in February, followed by one for Ash Wednesday.

William Shakespeare wrote at least 37 plays, 154 sonnets and a handful of longer poems and you can discover them all here. Heavy/larger items and furniture will be despatched separately and will not arrive with other purchases. Sinceramente speravo meglio, sia per la scelta dei brani che per le analisi, però è stato piacevole e qualche chicca me l’ha regalata. Food, personalised items and self-assembly furniture (once partly or wholly assembled) cannot be refunded or exchanged unless faulty.

Shakespeare for Every Day of the Year - Penguin Random House

Ik vond de informatie die rondom het gekozen stukje tekst stond interessanter dan het schrijfwerk van Shakespeare zelf, juist omdat dit telkens kleine stukjes waren zonder al te veel context van de rest van zijn tekst.Shakespeare for Every Day of the Year is perfect for reading or sharing and brings you Shakespeare's best-known and best-loved classics alongside lesser known extracts. The format really allows Shakespeare to be a lot more digestible to people who aren't the biggest readers of Shakespeare a bit like myself. I've studied Macbeth, Othello and I think I've seen either the Tempest or Twelfth Night in Stratford-upon-Avon - I can't remember which but a man crawled out of a tank under the stage soaking!
