The Lodger Shakespeare
His Life on Silver Street
Marian Rakestraw is a writer and longtime fan of TSCPL who now lives in Liberty, Missouri. She has been a guest on the HUSH podcast before, on a You Made Me Read it episode for which she made Lissa and Miranda read The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. The highlight of her Shakespearean life was seeing Kenneth Branagh as Henry V with the Royal Shakespeare Company. Many people get their first taste of Shakespeare when they read Romeo and Juliet in Freshman English. Because Shakespeare has a unique place in English language literature – being unchallenged as king – the influence of his plays has spread, and still spreads, all through everything else. Marian chose books from as many sections of the library as possible to show that. This is by no means an exhaustive list, there are many more and new things come out all the time.
