“A Very Mean Rank”: William Shakespeare, Brian Grazer, and Biographies that are Too Good to be True

Posted on March 2, 2021 by Brenton Dickieson

As background to my year of reading Shakespeare (one play a month), I am reading Peter Ackroyd’s biography of Shakespeare. As in all of Akroyd’s historical writing, it is accessible, thoughtful, and remarkably quick-moving for a long book. He writes … Continue reading →

I believe in open access scholarship. Because of this, since 2011 I have made A Pilgrim in Narnia free with nearly 1,000 posts on faith, fiction, and fantasy. Please consider sharing my work so others can enjoy it.

Well, a broken clothesline made a lot of extra time on a drying day. I had an old bent winch and was able to jimmy it together temporarily. What do you buy for clotheslines: heavy duty or super heavy duty? I'm disappointed how long this heavy duty one lasted (3 years).

Hey @UPEI folk: Free Chili and Dahl Lunch today at the @upeichaplaincycentre, 11:30-1:00 and 4:30-6:00. Really, it is free—and pretty good! It's not sketchy at all, despite the fact that I’ll be on the serving team 12:30-1:00.

I just saw some new signage at UPEI's Robertson Library and I think it is a bit humble. A little understated, methinks. UPEI has a great Library with wonderful Librarians! Don’t hide your light under a bushel, RL! You deserve better signage. If you want it hand drawn, there are many local artists who can do a better job capturing the @UPEI spirit.

On this cool, sunny early morning, I'm heading in for FOMO day with my first-year students. This is something I don't want to miss! 😉
