I don't really know that much. Thank you for all the interesting facts!<br /><br />I never realised he created the word 'swagger'.

I think I might get a book of sonnets out and take a look.

I had to read it in the 6th, 7th, 8th AND 9th grades. By the time I finished high school, I was possibly able to quote R+J backwards and forwards. Which is partly why I skipped the Shakespeare class in college.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422727727510999968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828573965733422544.post-34363500704696850522011-09-12T15:11:21.111+01:002011-09-12T15:11:21.111+01:00Love Shakespeare!!

The cover is very thin and I am almost scared to handle it, but you have inspired me to get it out and peruse it. My favorite is the exchange between King Henry V and Kate when he is asking her to take him in marriage.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10320479482884046928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828573965733422544.post-69670256282205140332011-09-12T13:33:07.950+01:002011-09-12T13:33:07.950+01:00I love Shakespeare.
