Shakespeare is an author that many students are required to read at some point. I took an English Literature class in high school (a while ago), and even took a class with my husband at a community center in which we read A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Macbeth aloud round robin style.
My high school aged daughter is reading Hamlet, which I have not read. I dug out my husband’s copy of The Riverside Shakespeare– a ponderous tome, and have started reading Hamlet for myself.
