This paper developed together with my colleague, Oxana Golubeva, is dedicated to William Shakespeare’s comedy “The Taming of the Shrew” and the analysis of education of men and women in Elizabethan times on the basis of this play. My contribution to the paper consists in writing an Introduction, the following chapters: Boys and girls: difference in education and The wife’s status. Love and obedience to thy Lord and the Conclusion. Oxana dwells upon the question of Age of marriage and Wedding ceremony and unfolds the concept of Nun or wife. There are special posts with Bibliography and Notes.

Have you realised you only have to posts and that they are very long? Why not split up them into several so the reader will not feel afraid of seeing so much text to read together? That’s my suggestion.
Nevertheless it is obvious you did a great job, the topic is very well developed and, without any doubt, it is very interesting.
Good job!
The topic is extensively developed, with specific and to-the-point information always at hand.
Very good job.

this comment is to be referred to both Oxana and Bek (unfortunatly on Oxana’s blog is impossible to leave a comment under the cover sheet).
– the content of the paper is really very very interesting, exaustive, detailed, elaborated and academic… it’s really a good work!!!
– unfortunatly it’s not so easy to follow and read it because you jump from one blog to the other without following, or knowing well, the order.
– then, as sara says, it’s a bit too long: you could write more chapters, a little bit shorter and more specific (for example un «nun and wife» you go a bit out of topic in the final part, talking about wooing…)
– language is correct (some lexical lapsus, for example: «epoch-era»), but use more punctuation in order to put some pauses in the sentences: it will make it easier to read.
– you could also improve it by putting more links: for example to wikipedia when you talk about the king and queen or other historical characters, so that if the reader wants more info, he can go and find them directly by himself.
– and also, say who you’re quoting or where you got the information from when you write about historical facts
– I also don’t understand how it worked: you have 2 different bibliographies and conclusions for one paper which is common…either do one each or one which is the same for both, no?!
a part from this, I really liked the content and found it very very interesting!!! so, well done! =)
Good Job Ksenia !
You did a very good research.
Also the appearence is acuratelly chosen.
Maybe the only weak point is the lack of post list in the main page.
Ni shagu nasad!
As I wrote before this blog is good and in my opinion deserves an 8.
Firstly, the text of the corpus is quite agile,
and the research is exhaustive enough.
Secondly, the appearence is atractive.
