Happy Shakespeare’s birthday!

Happy Shakespeare’s Birthday!

 

I was introduced to Shakespeare by my mother (who was an English major) at a young age. I’ve always enjoyed his work, and he’s still in my top 5 list of favorite writers. There are a lot of Shakespeare posts out there, from the academic to the humorous. To honor his birthday, here are a few links.
