The Lodger Shakespeare Quotes

“This is the way history happens: it is measured out in days rather than epochs.”
― Charles Nicholl, The Lodger Shakespeare: His Life on Silver Street

“It is true that biographical readings of the plays are dangerous, unregulated, prone to sentimentalization. It is absurd to cherry-pick passages of poetry written over more than two decades and infer from them a consistent personal attitude. Lines belong in a dramatic context and in the psychological context of the character who utters them and cannot be taken to reflect Shakespeare's views.”
― Charles Nicholl, The Lodger Shakespeare: His Life on Silver Street
