truepennyWhat it is I'm doing with the goddamn dis.
No one will be surprised to learn that it's the motherfucking secondary reading that's tripped me up. I hate writing about other people's theories, therefore I do it badly, therefore my committee insists that I must do more work with the critics, therefore my mood can accurately be depicted as a mushroom cloud.
The Introduction mostly needs paring down, and I chopped 20 pages out of it last night. But the Hamlet chapter is going to need rewriting, and more reading, and I'm starting to clench my teeth against the impulse to scream.
No, I have neither knowledge of nor interest in the contemporary scene in Shakespeare criticism. Which is a defect I was praying I'd be able to handwave. And I can't.
Motherfuck.
