What is Bardisms about?
EDITORIAL REVIEW: William Shakespeare's plays and poetry make up a vast repository of wit and wisdom, of insight and passion. For the momentous events in our lives—the ones that call for some memorable remarks or a great toast—the Bard is the perfect speechwriter. On any occasion, chances are there's a Shakespeare quote that's fitting. The challenge, of course, is finding the right one. Enter Barry Edelstein. One of the top Shakespeare directors and teachers in the country, he can help you pick the perfect "Bardism," pronounce it with style, and craft an elegant speech, talk, or missive around it. *Bardisms* provides the best of Shakespeare's wisdom, with passages that mark the special times as well as the everyday: A wedding vow: "To you I give myself, for I am yours." —*As You Like It* For your darling little girl: "You gods, look down / And from your sacred vials pour your graces / Upon my daughter's head." —*The Winter's Tale* Birthday greeting: "To me, fair friend, you can never be old;" —*Sonnet 104* Time to party: "Let's mock the midnight bell." —*Antony and Cleopatra* On reputation: "Good name in man and woman, dear my lord, / Is the immediate jewel of their souls." —*Othel
