Shakespeare Meme (because why not?)
Aug. 7th, 2019 09:28 pmLet us order them by genre, because I expect clusters:
( This does not necessarily reflect well on me as a Literary Scholar )
I've also read some of the sonnets, mostly for work, and skim-read Lucrece (and close-read particular passages, as one does). Venus and Adonis I haven't read, but I think I've heard some papers on it. The Pheonix and the Turtle I definitely haven't read, but now that I write that I can see it's a GRAVE OVERSIGHT.
I decided a while ago that, except where I need to for work, I don't want to *read* any new-to-me Shakespeare plays: I enjoy the Unspoiled Shakespeare Experience too much. That also means I somewhat regret having evaded The Winters Tale, and I will definitely have to jump at mad student productions in future, if I want to see the weirder plays.
