Words we owe to Shakespeare

Sometimes it is nice to be reminded why William Shakespeare is widely considered one of the greatest writers of the English language.


To the left is an image that has been floating around the Internet for awhile that shows a very small part of Shakespeare's contribution.

You can read some of the amusing things Shakespeare wrote in the book Barbs from the bard : Shakespearean insults with modern translations and notes, which the Port Charlotte campus library has under PR2892 .V56 2000.


Or, check out The tragedy of Hamlet, prince of Denmark from the Fort Myers campus under PR2807 .A1 1992.
