Mark Twain's Ax

"This guitar was built during the Romantic era and at the beginning of Martin & Company's history of manufacturing of guitars. Mark Twain was a passionate guitarist and singer but of course is best known as one of America's greatest literary legends. His musical styles included gospel, slavery, blues, love songs, political satire, folk and burlesque."

Hmm. If Shakespeare could have his pick of guitars, which would he choose?

The Reader's Encyclopedia of Shakespeare is an indispensable guide and companion to the Bard and his works. Reasonably priced too! Here's a sample of the insight and quality to be found in its entries (by the way I plucked this from a page riffled to randomly):

"To call Shakespeare 'myriad-minded' is one way of saying that nothing was ever lost upon him or escaped his notice. Like Keats, who wrote, 'If a sparrow come before my window I take part in its existence and pick about the gravel,' Shakespeare so identifies himself in the moment of apprehension with the thing felt, seen, or heard, that it becomes a part of his experience of life and incorporates itself spontaneously, when he feels and thinks and writes, in metaphor, simile, verb, or adjective. In consequence, the word he chooses, the language his characters speak, and especially the imagery that informs it throughout have tremendous aural, visual, and sensory impact, so that for every scene of daily life actually pictured on his stage there are a hundred allusions that flash a vivid impression of it to our senses."
