New post: Ten Years Limericked

Hard to believe I’ve been online for a decade. 🥳

I take a look back with limericks to begin, prose in the middle, and Physical Graffiti to tie it all together.

New post: Education

The Shakespeare Oxford Fellowship (US organisation) is providing Oxfordian resources to American high school English teachers. Free lesson plans and more are linked. I presume these would also be useful to non-US teachers, at least generally.

I spend a few moments atop my educational soapbox, then Pearl Jam plays at the end.

New post: updated edition of Saffron Walden Annotated, at Amazon. (Tom Nashe’s text, my annotations.) No huge changes but if you hate typos there are way fewer of them now. Links in the post.

New blog post with a new poem.

Sonnet 159: Morbidity

A sonnet about facing the shadow that takes centre stage as one's hour of strutting and fretting nears its end.

Proof that Tom Nashe lived has been posted. I have the link, and words to go with it. Then I have words with the Archbishop of Canterbury.

New post: Shakespeare Yes, Thomas Nashe No

I defend the Thomas Nashe I knew from being erased by a meme that's been given way too much airtime. I brought up the artillery for this one.

New Post, one of paramount importance (or perhaps not):

De Vere Pudding Update

A question left hanging in my October 2019 pudding post is re-asked, after a recipe I couldn't find then finally came to hand.

Happy Sonnets Day. I had #159 ready to post, but I wrote it when the black dog of melancholy was upon me, and now I think it's a bit too dark for the front page. Some other time perhaps. You can find my other new sonnets by checking the blog's Title Index under S. My old sonnets (melancholic and non) you should be able to find without assistance.

You never know where I'll show up. Lenny and the Squigtones return (they first appeared on my timeline in February). Title's a giveaway if you know your plays. Cultured chaps, these two.

Lenny and the Squigtones - Starcrossed

One of the best verbs I ever came up with, in one of the best pentameter lines I ever came up with, and the compositor botched it. There is no second r in *incarnadine*. Bloody typo has annoyed me for 401 years.
