The Bard in Everyday Life

The Bard in Everyday Life

Shakespeare and his plays are found in far too many aspects of American life to describe here in full. Instead, this lively sampling ranges from modern and historic advertising to the use of Shakespeare’s plays by early American psychiatrists, and from major US editions of the plays to sharing Shakespeare—in print and on stage—with Americans in uniform.
