At the end of the book, she provides a synopsis of each of Shakespeare's works along with citations for when each is quoted in the book as well as an historical timeline. Unfortunately, it ended up not being a great fit for this season. Each day offers a passage from one of Shakespeare's plays or poems, and while Esiri does attempt to give a little explanation for the passage, Shakespeare's work is so much more powerful in context.

Success!

Confesso che non tutti i brani mi sono piaciuti e, in alcuni casi, ho trovato la scelta dell’estratto strana. This is the perfect book if you find Shakespeare and the language overwhelming. It would be ideal for high schoolers and university students, studying literature. Allie Esiri, described in a Tatler profile as 'a poetry powerhouse', is a former English stage, film and television actress, now a writer.
