Here's #Catholic #World's #Review of John #Steinbeck's last #Novel:
The #Winter of Our #Discontent (1961):It is #Regrettable that the #Author... invested the #Book w/ #MumboJumbo & #HocusPocus involving a #Talisman, a #Female #Witch, & #Ambiguous #Religious #Significance that results in a #Contrived, #Pretentious #Story...

The #Title is from #Shakespeare's #RichardIII:"Now is the winter of our discontent
Made #Glorious #Summer by this sun [or son] of #York." -
#TheLostKing: While a bit dicey in its treatment of both actual history and the subject of #disability, #StephenFrears' return to feature-length productions ultimately shows him doing what he does best.

As for the original meaning of the song/riddle, there exist various explanations, ranging from Humpty Dumpty referring to King #RichardIII of #England, to the downfall of a #CardinalWolsey, to a #SiegeEngine during the Siege of Gloucester, to #Colchester's cannon damaged during the #SiegeOfColchester.

Well, that's all #etymology for today. :)
