I have Nevins's encyclopedia on Victorian characters and it's very interesting. |

Shakespeare died 400yrs ago today (he might have been born on the same date as well). He was a contemporary of Solomon Kane. Robert E. Howard esteemed him the greatest playwright ever (as do I). Beyond that, he was just a great storyteller. Check out the new film adaptation of Macbeth. That tale is proto-sword & sorcery. www.biography.com/people/william-shakespeare-9480323 |

That tale is proto-sword & sorcery. www.biography.com/people/william-shakespeare-9480323Quotes from REH anent the Bard of Avon: REH to H.P. Lovecraft, ca. September 1933: "I quite agree with your estimate of the average newspaper, and do not differ radically with your opinion of radio programs. And yet it would be erroneous to say that all radio programs are entirely without cultural value... I have heard, among other things, such plays as... a number of Shakespearean plays. Of course I had rather see these things on the stage, but as my chances of doing that are so slim they are practically non-existant, I was grateful for the opportunity of hearing them over the air." Tevis Clyde Smith, "Adventurer in Pulp": "...Shakespeare was his favorite playwright..." Tevis Clyde Smith, "Report on a Writing Man": "'Shakespeare,' he would say, 'had perspective. That is why he is so great, why he continues to live. It is something so few have. He probably had it more than any man.'"  |
