This week I received the syllabus for the Shakespeare course I am taking for five weeks this June and July down in New Haven. A pretty ambitious schedule awaits: reading ten plays and writing two big papers and eight short ones. The first week and last week of the program will be trickiest for me, as my work at Yale will overlap with the Choate school year winding down in early June and my summer school teaching commitments in early July. So I am planning to get a head start on both my reading and writing.
