Very easy to digest in these daily, bite-size pieces.Esiri has compiled a year's worth of readings from Shakespeare's canon. Along with the reading, she provides further informative text about the writing and the significance for each day. At the end of the book, she provides a synopsis of each of Shakespeare's works along with citations for when each is quoted in the book as well as an historical timeline. A magnificent collection of 365 passages from Shakespeare's works, for the Shakespeare scholar and neophyte alike. Vooral een cover buy en daardoor kon het al niet mis gaan. Eerst deed ik trouw per dag 1 stukje, maar in de laatste maand gewoon me er doorheen geploegd. 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 eBook : Esiri, Allie Shakespeare for Every Day of the Year eBook : Esiri, Allie

Beautifully produced, this is something to wallow in. Shakespeare for Every Day of the Year does precisely what it says on the tin; three hundred and sixty five extracts from Shakespeare for every day of the year. It cover "sonnets, soliloquies, quotes and extracts" and rather delightfully pairs these with a little note of introduction for the relevant time of the year. So, for example, February 14th sees sonnet 29 "When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes" and a paragraph talking about how Valentine's Day was handled in Shakespeare's, er, day. April 1st sees a witty extract from As You Like It whilst November 5th sees Macbeth and Lady Macbeth discuss their plot to bring down the King.

Success!
