In the years leading up to 1606, since the death of Queen Elizabeth and the arrival in England of her successor, King James of Scotland, Shakespeare's great productivity had ebbed, and it may have seemed to some that his prolific genius was a thing of the past. But that year, at age forty-two, he found his footing again, finishing a play he had begun the previous autumn-King Lear-then writing two other great tragedies, Macbeth and Antony and Cleopatra. The Year of Lear sheds light on these three great tragedies by placing them in the context of their times, while also allowing us greater insight into how Shakespeare was personally touched by such events as a terrible outbreak of plague and growing religious divisions. For anyone interested in Shakespeare, this is an indispensable book.
Editorial : "Shapiro's well-written, scholarly exploration will stand as an influential work that is a joy to read." ---Kirkus Starred Review
history and all you might ever want to know about various characters, contributed by various people.
Aside from the story, though, it was very dry reading I didn't finish it.. It has bright, bold colors on each page. I'd like to list more details, but I don't want to give the story away :). Colby was harassed, jeered at public venues and peppered with death threats.
The Watergate affair led to Colby's disclosure of the "family jewels" and they included the domestic surveillance of antiwar groups, the illegal mail-reading and experiments with hallucinatory drugs.
It was Nixon himself who appointed Colby to lead the CIA. This is a very informative book that answers and addresses many questions that I have had concerning essential oils. It is easily the children's favorite book and they will bring it to you again and again. First, the exam software often told me I had selected the incorrect answer, yet the description of the correct answer matched what I had selected. A lot
