Reading Shakespeare Reading Me
A gripping, funny, joyful account of how the books you read shape your own life in surprising and profound ways. Bookworms know what scholars of literature are trained to forget: that when they devour a work of literary fiction, whatever else they may be doing, they are reading about themselves.Read Shakespeare, and you become Cleopatra, Hamlet, or Bottom. Or at the very least, you experience the plays as if you are in a small room alone with them, and they are speaking to your life, your sensibility. Drawing on fifty years as a Shakespearean, Leonard Barkan has produced a captivating book that asks us to reconsider what it means to read.Barkan violates the rule of distance he was taught and has always taught his students.He asks: Where does this brilliantly contrived fiction actually touch me?Where is Shakespeare in effect telling the story of my life?King Lear, for Barkan, raises unanswerable questions about what exactly a father does after planting the seed.Mothers from Gertrude to Lady Macbeth are reconsidered in the light of the author’s experience as a son of a former flapper.The sonnets and comedies are seen through the eyes of a gay man who nevertheless weeps with joy when all the heterosexual couples are united at the end.A Midsummer Night’s Dream is interpreted through the author’s joyous experience of performing the role of Bottom and finding his aesthetic faith in the pantheon of antiquity. And the exquisitely poetical history play Richard II intersects with, of all things, Ru Paul’s Drag Race. Full of engrossing stories, from family secrets to the world of the theater, and written with humor and genuine excitement about literary experiences worthy of our attention and our love, Reading Shakespeare Reading Me makes Shakespeare’s plays come alive in new ways.

Reading aloud is the act of reading a text out loud, while reading afterwards refers to reading a text after it has been presented or performed. Skimming involves quickly reading through a text to get a general idea of its content, while reading from a script involves reading directly from a written document or text. Reading through means reading a text from beginning to end without skipping any parts, while reading diagonally involves scanning a text in a diagonal pattern to quickly gather information. Reading out refers to reading a text aloud in a public setting, and misreading is the act of reading a text incorrectly or inaccurately.
