Antexts from British Literature


  • Henry IV, Part 1: Shall I Imitate the Sun?
    A discussion of this scene a long time ago with Michael Tolaydo, gave me the entire idea for Antexts.
  • Macbeth - Act I, Scene 7 - "If it were done"
    Macbeth's soliloquy: If it were done... There are not only wonderful textual layers within this selection - but incredible references to other material from the play as well.

    The scene where Caliban tells the two fools to not be afraid of the sounds of the island.
