New Takes On the Classics

You know how you're sitting there in English class or reading one of the "old school" classics-Shakespeare or Poe or something like that- and you get entirely too emotionally attached to whatever you're reading?

These are a collection of replies, responses, and poems based upon these classic works of literature.

(Don't worry, there's not going to be a quiz after this.)
