Quotes by Emma Smith (?)

“Shakespeare is complex, like living, not technically and crackably difficult, like crosswords or changing the time on the cooker”

“Bibliomania’ was typically characterized by an immoderate, even ruinous attachment to books acquired through purchase or theft, with a strong suggestion that these books were to serve an inert and possessive collection, rather than for reading or other direct use.”
― Emma Smith, Portable Magic: A History of Books and their Readers

“Grief fills the room up of my absent child, Lies in his bed, walks up and down with me, Puts on his pretty looks, repeats his words, Remembers me of all his gracious parts, Stuffs out his vacant garments with his form; Then have I reason to be fond of grief. (3.4.93–8)”
― Emma Smith, This Is Shakespeare
