* BBC Shakespeare Lives – The main page for all of the Shakespeare celebrations of the BBC. It looks like at least some (maybe all?) of the videos on this site are viewable outside the UK – yay!
And in other news…
* Princely pleasures at Kenilworth: Robert Dudley’s three-week marriage proposal to Elizabeth I –
