William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in late April 1565 and baptised there on 26th April. He was one of eight children. Little is known about his life but what is evident is the enormous contribution he has made to world literature. His writing was progressive; magnificent in scope and breathtaking in execution. His plays and sonnets helped enable the English language to speak with a voice unmatched by any other. William Shakespeare died on April 23rd 1616; survived by his wife and two daughters. He was buried two days after his death in the chancel of the Holy Trinity Church. The epitaph on the slab which covers his grave includes the following passage; Good friend; for Jesusrsquo;s sake forbear; To dig the dust enclosed here. Blessed me the man that spares these stones; And cursed be he that moves my bones. Here we publish his comedy from 1611 The Tempest.

0 of 2 people found the following review helpful. what is still unrevealedBy sailing up chit speakI was not deeply involved in thinking about Susan Sontag in the twentieth century. Something about Walter Kaufmanns English translation of Nietzsches The Gay Science in 1974 made me think Sontags Notes on Camp might involve the same kind of snappy whiplash upper crustedness. By the time Walter Kaufmann died; on September 4; 1980; I had to look for anyone writing in English who would suffer as I had as a Freudian expert in the humor of the Vietnam war. The analysis by Terry Castle; Some Notes on "Notes on Camp" (pp. 21-31); mentioning a host of intellectual and cultural transformations that would come to fruition over the next four decades; might put me at the end of the most interesting confounding clash of cosmologies in the decade we are having now; such as it is.
