Author: Francis K. Denuit and Michael Viner
Publisher: Phoenix Audio
Length: 45 min.

Description
Because the strength of the anglo-saxon expletive has sadly weakened and because insulting your fellow friends, Romans, and countrymen is a pastime as old as speaking, Francis K. Denuit and Michael Viner compiled Barbs from the Bard . This collection of some of the most cutting jeers and outrageous affronts ever spoken is a testament to William Shakespeare's verbal prowess. Try them out on the publisher that sticks those little cards in your magazines, or that guy who stole your parking spot, or any time you want to shout out about the nasty unfairness of it all.

Description
Award-winning author Stephen Greenblatt is one of the most influential literary thinkers in the world. An acclaimed interpreter of Shakespeare's works, his ideas have changed the way countless people approach the classics. Now Greenblatt's uniquely brilliant voice delivers a magnificent biography of the Bard himself. It is impossible to have any understanding of literature and not be familiar with William Shakepeare. He has influenced Western culture more than any other author. But how were Shakespeare's remarkable accomplishments even possible? How could a man without wealth, connections, or a university education move to London and quickly become the greatest playwright of all time? In this emerging narrative, Elizabethan England is reawakened, and we at last understand how Shakespeare became a legendary figure.
