I have the best of intentions around New Year’s resolutions. Every year, I dream up a list of Very Good Ideas which I quietly proclaim and manage to forget all about by mid-January.
This year, I have decided to tackle a more manageable learning project instead of the usual lifestyle change or addition: 2019 will be my year to finally read Shakespeare.
He turns out to have been a busy guy: 37 plays, 157 sonnets and two long narrative poems.
I will start with the plays and a few reliable guides: a famous Yale professor of English, assorted members of the Royal Shakespearean Company (UK) and my own childhood memories of seeing many of the plays performed on stage.
