Recs if you like The Taming of the Shrew...

The children yearn for Shakespeare.

Created out of my love for Clueless, She’s the Man, and 10 Things I Hate About You specifically.

Just personally wanted a compilation of all plays for ease of access, even those with debatable authorship. Hopefully should appear chronologically from ascending to descending.

All the stories from the bard and stories that he inspired- I definitely need recommendations for this one!!

A list dedicated to the life, works, and study of William Shakespeare. Includes many of the books featured on Shakespeare Unlimited, the podcast produced by the Folger Shakespeare Library.

All these books are taken from various courses I've taken as English Literature undergrad! Contains both well known classics and ones you probably have never heard of. (work in progress)

These are all books and plays that have been turned into films or stage productions, what they all have in common is that Meryl Streep has starred in them. Disclaimer: some films have been loosely based on the books.

Books with adaptations that differ quite a bit from the source material.

I personally really enjoying watching adaptations, even when they fail the original (and especially when they end up elevating it).

Modern adaptations of classics go in the list and so do movies that change big plot points or characters. Movies that had to cut down certain elements because of the change of media are not included. Open to suggestions!

added as i read the book

Books made into BL/GL dramas. (Or BL/GL dramas made into books)

Pair with "Level 9 – Prehistoric World" book.

Shakespeare’s comedies, comedies about Shakespeare, and retellings.

I wanna make a list for books that I read in school - whether I picked them up from the library myself or they were assigned in English class. for reference, I graduated hs in 2014, so that's the era we're working with :)

if you have any suggestions for books that were popular in the late 00's/early 2010's or books you were assigned in school, please comment!
