The hand that penned the loveliest of sonnets was equally adept at scathing verbal abuse, ego-crushing personal appraisals, rapier-sharp ripostes, and pungent put-downs. This uproarious calendar presents 313 brief but blistering excerpts from Shakespeare's plays (each Saturday and Sunday share a page and an excerpt), with citations including act and scene; notes on who is insulting whom and why; and explanations of words no longer familiar. It's a poultice for ill humor and a daily delight for anyone who loves ill humor well expressed. Also includes yearly grids for 2010 and 2011 and a page for notes.
