Oi! Mush!

Apropos of nothing at all, I am suddenly in a literary frame of mind. Thus for the edification of you all, I direct you to this masterwork:


The Skinhead Hamlet


A classic of literature rendered in modern English. As the editors state, "Our hope was to achieve something like the effect of the New English Bible."

Discuss.

*grin* I'm glad you like it. It would be a good thing to turn students on to, wouldn't it? You could try recommending a wonderful book called The Friendly Shakespeare. It's a compendium of all kinds of things Shakespearean, divided up in sections, one for each play. It's got all kinds of anecdotes, facts, bits of interviews with Shakespeare performers, directors, scholars. A little of everything, and very engagingly written. The Skinhead Hamlet is mentioned in the book.
