but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and a king of England too

This evening my aunt came by to take me out to dinner, in celebration of my recently having totally pwned my orals, and she brought with her a bunch of used books she'd bought for me as well. One of them is a 1951 edition of the complete works of Shakespeare, and some of the comments in the introduction are just hilariously...well, dated, I guess.

Some of my favorite books are the 1950s or 1960s biographies of Marlowe. All the ones that I've seen from that era -- and some right up through the 1970s -- refused to print some of the charges against him.

Kind of makes you wonder how far we've come, doesn't it?
