Description
William Shakespeare produced the loveliest sonnets the language has yet known, but he was equally creative at scabrous verbal abuse, ego-crushing personal appraisals, cudgel-blunt challenges, rapier-sharp ripostes, pungent put-downs, and killing kiss-offs. This uproarious calendar presents 313 brief excerpts from the plays (each Saturday and Sunday share a page and an excerpt), with citations including act and scene; notes on who is abusing whom and why; and explanations of no longer familiar words. A poultice for ill humor and a daily delight for anyone who loves ill humor well expressed.Stock Information
