A friend asked me awhile back, “Why Shakespeare?Why do we study him?Why do we study his plays?”He lived hundreds of years ago after all.And there are many other playwrights who came before and after him that we pay little attention to.Why does Shakespeare deserve so much attention? This 24 page booklet gives some reasons for that; as well as where to begin; recommended Shakespeare plays; quotes from Shakespeare; a very brief history of William Shakespeare; a brief timeline of his life and his works; recommended books & videos; and more.The material in it is excerpted from Catherine’s larger works, Sharing Shakespeare with Students and the Drama chapter from her Organized Ramblings book.
