Since I was off doing my Labor Day cookout on Sunday, I figured I would so my Sunday blogging on Labor Day. 🙂
* Shakespeare’s face recreated for UK HIstory Channel program called “Death Masks”
* Reformation documents go on show – New exhibition from the National Library of Scotland. Additional article here.
* Hilary Mantel’s award-winning “Wolf Hall” is now available in paperback in the US (Amazon links below, of course). Macmillan has a nice page up for the book that includes links to a book club discussion guide, videos and more.
Among the angry and cranky comments appended to the second article on the display of the Reformation documents, the point is made that John Knox’s work was actually the “First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regimen of Women,” not “Regiment.” Which is nice to know, but to modern ears it sounds like a Renaissance diet plan.
Okay, is it me, or does “Shakespeare” look a little like the late Dennis Hopper?
