Favorite Shakespeare Lines
For this first podcast of 2024, father and son authors David Crystal and Ben Crystal share their (many!) favorite quotations they've collected in their handy and handsome book, Everyday Shakespeare: Lines for Life. The two Crystals reveal they combined their perspectives as practitioner and linguist, and share how they've explored the corners of the canon and found gold; the satisfaction of breakfast-time rituals; how words and their meanings \u2013 and their pronunciations! \u2013 have changed over the centuries; and the wonder of discovering the diversity of Shakespeare\u2019s voices and characters.
