"By The Book"
A Shakespeare Authorship Quarterly Book Club
Together we Read 4 Books per Year!
10 weeks to Buy the Book & Read it.
Winter 2025
O, sir, we quarrel in print by the book, as you have books for good manners. I will name you the degrees. The first, the Retort Courteous; the second, the Quip Modest; the third, the Reply Churlish;
-- Touchstone, from As You Like It
Please join us for another notated Shakespeare Play with an eye toward the Earl of Oxford as author. Much Ado About Nothing is in the "galley" stages, which means we are getting a sneak preview! No purchase necessary.
​
As with all our plays, we will have read alouds of each Act. Those who wish can put on their acting caps!
​​​​
We will begin the ongoing group email on January 5th, and we'll end with a final Zoom get-together in March.
​
It's a community, not a class so no pressure to do it perfectly. Fall behind or skim ahead!
Note, you must participate to the best of your ability from the start in order to attend the final Zoom with our guest speaker.
