Book Description HTML

William Shakespeare's marvelous madcap comedy explained in plain and simple prose! The eminent literary critic Harold Bloom compared the pacing of Shakespeare’s "Twelfth Night" to that of a Marx Brothers comedy. Two words that perhaps best describe a Marx Brothers comedy are insanity and fun. Bloom’s comparison is not as far-fetched as some people might at first think. "Twelfth Night" is also a play about insanity and fun.

    Lots of very good information, but sometimes hard to follow because it skips around so much. The fact that "In 1995 Clinton extended diplomatic relations to Vietnam" is in the paragraph before, "President Lyndon B. Johnson deployed Coast Guard cutters to Vietnam (29 April 1965) . . .", and after, "In 1976 President Jimmy Carter pardoned most of the Vietnam war draft dodgers"
