Re: ''The Prince '', by Niccolo Machiavelli

I have 12 books of plays by Shakespeare along with the complete sonnets. Many people believe Shakespeare wrote the plays exclusively for the stage and not to be read as a stand-alone piece of literature but a considerable amount of recent scholarship states that is not necessarily true in many cases. There was literally a price to be paid to attend the productions and some citizens were destitute but could borrow the written works from libraries or friends.

Anyway, with the possible exception of Olog-hai, I am the leading expert on this site with respect to the Shakespearean oeuvre and will defeat anyone who challenges me on anything to do with the Bard or otherwise engages me in debate on the works of the Renaissance or the Western canon more broadly. Do not try me.
