Subject:    Interview with Michael Wood and More

The latest issue of the Shakespeare Bookshop Newsletter (December 2009) 
has Will Sharpe interviewing Michael Wood and several interesting book 
reviews.

To find a copy go to

One of the books reviewed is Ben Crystal's Shakespeare on Toast: Getting 
a Taste for the Bard, a book I found to be quite enjoyable. Primarily 
written for a non-specialist readers to empower (Sorry, a hate this verb 
but cannot think of a better one) them to be unafraid of Shakespeare on 
the stage or on the page, Shakespeare on Toast is, nevertheless, well 
worth reading by scholars and teachers. After I read it last semester, I 
incorporated some of what I read into my classroom instruction.
