I think sometimes in schools, for example, teachers get so swept up tearing every minute bit of language apart in Shakespeare's plays that they forget that historical context also has a huge role in appreciating them properly. <br /><br />Thanks for reminding me to go searching for the book again, and I'm hoping to enjoy 'The Hollow Crown' in all its glory this winter! I started watching it on television but was constantly getting interrupted, so being able to pick my moment with the DVDs (and having the ability to pause and rewind) will be much more enjoyable, I think! :)Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246472269477492583noreply@blogger.com
