Shakespeare in Birds and Music

Shakespeare in Birds and Music is a pairing of the two oddest works ever written about Shakespeare. 

The first, entitled The Ornithology of Shakespeare and written by James Edmund Harting, describes all the allusions to birds that appear in Shakespeare’s works.

The second, entitled “Shakespeare and Music” and written by Edward W. Naylor, describes the musical instruments popular around the time of Shakespeare, and makes connections certain to delight the reader interested in a new view of Shakespeare's works.
