William Shakespeare: King Lear (The New Folger Library Shakespeare) - Groups

Overview: Groups

English Majors/Minors 207 books / 237 members / 426 posts This group is for English majors or minors, but anyone is welcome. What I hope to attract with the group title are literature analysts, people who thoroughly enjoy studying novels, short stories, essays, whatever. Maybe I can even lure in some who actually like to peruse a bit of criticism now and then, though I must admit only the most intriguing topics can take me this far.

Shakespeare 41 books / 46 members / 34 posts Okay, so maybe this is less a "book" thing than straight up "literature"...... but it's on my shelf, so there! What are your faves? Why do you like it? What have you seen performed? What have YOU performed? What about writing style? Who wrote PERICLES? Et cetera!

IFHS AP Literature Discussion 8 books / 1 members / 0 posts Discussion group for AP English Literature students at IFHS.
AP Literature students discussion of books for class.
A few instructions and reminders:

1) Good English reigns here, too. Write in complete sentences and DO NOT use "internet shorthand". What you do on your own pages is your business, of course, but any discussion thread on this site needs to be standard English.

2) I will add books we are reading together as a class to the Group Shelf. Any book you'd like to add to the shelf (or are adding as a part of an assignment) needs to be of AP quality. If you're not sure whether or not it is, ask me. Remember, on your Shelfari page, you can put whatever you like.

3) Politeness is mandatory. Show respect for all the opinions posted here even if they differ greatly from your own. No profanity or vulgarity is allowed. Posters violating this policy will find their grade suffers as a result.

4) Posts need to be meaningful. "Me, too", "I hated it", "I loved it", and so forth as the sole body of a post do not a meaningful post make.....

Better than Starbucks… if you like good coffee, great books, sharp wit, and people who read 679 books / 1012 members / 10339 posts Better than Starbucks… if you like good coffee, great books, sharp wit, and people who read Shakespeare, Dickens, Twain, Marquez, Morrison, Joyce, Faulkner, Cather, Kingsolver and a few hundred other really delicious writers, not to impress strangers, but because they love a good read, then please join us. We are not a private group, but the administrators will not resist the urge to delete boring and stupid comments. By the same token, personal attacks on young, slow or otherwise disadvantaged players will not be tolerated. Generally, be nice to other members, but spare not public figures, pop lit superstars, big box stores, politicians and religious leaders. Focus more energy on what is good and even what is great, but feel free to throw a stone when the occasion calls for it. Welcome!
