It was a strange feeling to see it there, accompanied by questions about it and points for discussion. That a story, written for the pleasure and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A common mistake we’re to make when trying to transpose any Shakespearean expression  from Renaissance English to contemporary modern English is to ignore its context and see it in the context of our own time. This often gives rise to charge against Shakespeare of such modern concepts as ‘racism,’ ‘anti-semitism’ or ‘sexism.’ Another complication is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are various rumors as to whether Shakespeare suffered from writers block or not. Some sources claim Shakespeare wrote quickly with ease &#8211; his contemporary Ben Jonson said “Whatsoever he penned, he never blotted out a line.” However, there is evidence of Shakespeare revising and crossing out his work in one scene he wrote for  Sir Thomas More, a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I often come across the question ‘Why is there so little of Christmas in the works of Shakespeare?’. In all of his works, Shakespeare uses the word ‘Christmas’ only three times. Well the answer is simple, really.
