Shakespeare in love [DVD]
Universal Studios, 1999
Summary: Starring: Gwineth Paltrow, Joseph Fiennes, Geoffrey Rush, Colin Firth, Ben Affleck, Judi Dench Shakespeare in love is a romantic
comedy for the 1990's set in 1590's, telling the witty, sexy story behind the creation of the greatest love story of them all - Romeo and Juliet. Young
Will Shakespeare is the up and coming playwright of the time, but has been disastrously struck by by the bane of the writer's life - writer's block. His
comedy "Romeo and Ethel the Pirates daughter" is not going anywhere and the playhouse is under the threat of closure. What Will needs is a muse and she appears in the form of the beautiful (and betrothed) Lady Viola.

chooses, the proud young Count of Rossillion, refuses to consummate the forced marriage and flees to Florence. Depicting the triumph of trickery

Summary: Following up on his recent nonfiction Shakespeare: The Biography, Ackroyd brings readers forward to London at the turn of the 19th

Lamb and his sister Mary, both passionate devotes of the Bard, and their fraught friendship with William Henry Ireland, a bookseller who unearths a
trove of Shakespeare documents, including what seems to be an unknown play. The mystery of the play's origin shapes an enchanting, slightly

melancholy, exploration of Regency society. The young characters struggle with the constraints of their daythe brilliant, fragile Mary feels
suffocated by the strictures of feminine domesticity; William chafes against his father's dominationbut they do so without craning their necks toward
modernity as an escape route: Ackroyd knows that the past is another country; there his characters live, and there they stay. Steeping readers in
revealing but unobtrusive period detail, Ackroyd once again delivers a psychologically rich evocation of a vanished time.

The British Olympics: Britain's Olympic Heritage 1612-2012
London : English Heritage, 2011
Summary: History records that the Olympic Games originated in ancient Greece nearly three thousand years ago, died out around 393 AD, and were
triumphantly reborn in 1896, in the Greek capital of Athens. Rather less well known is how, during the intervening centuries, an assortment of British
writers, romantics, sportsmen and visionaries helped nurture that revival. Indeed, as sports historian Dr Martin Polley argues in this, the 12th book in
the acclaimed Played in Britain series, our nation's fascination with all things Olympian has played a pivotal role in shaping the Games as we know
them today, culminating in London becoming in 2012 the first city ever to stage a third modern Olympiad. Consider, for example, that the first
published use of the word 'Olympian' in the English language dates from around 1590. Its author? William Shakespeare. And that the first games of
the post-classical era to adopt the formal title 'Olympick' took place in the Cotswolds village of Chipping Campden in 1612. It was an English traveller,
Richard Chandler, who rediscovered the lost site of Olympia in 1766, and a Shropshire doctor, William Penny Brookes, who, in 1850, founded the
Much Wenlock Olympian Games, an annual community festival that inspired Pierre de Coubertin to revive the Games at an international level. Other
Olympic festivals surfaced in London (to celebrate Queen Victoria's accession), in Liverpool, and in the north-east town of Morpeth, while the words
'Olympic' and 'Olympian' became steadily more ingrained in the popular imagination throughout the Victorian era. Britain's Olympic heritage gained
added momentum in the 20th century. At White City in 1908, London built the world's first modern, purpose-built Olympic stadium, while in 1948
London stepped in to save the Games by offering Wembley Stadium. Also in the late 1940s, at Stoke Mandeville hospital in Buckinghamshire, the
modern Paralympics were born when sporting contests were organised for injured servicemen. Thus the 2012 Games represent the culmination of
over four hundred years of British enthusiasm and ingenuity; an attachment that has left in its wake a trail of fascinating stories, characters, sites,
buildings and artefacts. Leading the reader on a marathon journey, The British Olympics charts them all, making this a vital and entertaining source
for anyone with an interest in the Games, in sport, and in the wider narrative of Britain's social and cultural heritage.
