    I would find that fascinating.

    Along those lines, I just listened to a podcast with Ben and David Crystal talking about their new book Everyday Shakespeare with lines for different days of the year

    In Romeo and Juliet and in Hamlet, there are apparent traces of Epicurus' philosophy, but in King Lear, there are none obvious to me. Please let us know where to find the article after it has been published.

    Shakespeare fanatic that I am, I am very happy to see your extended discussion of 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐭. I am now working on 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫 and the possibility that Shakespeare may have been an Epicurean. Wouldn't that be something! In Montaigne, also an Epicurean, Shakespeare read about Lucretius, atomic theory and all.
