Shakespeare, His World Our World
This module will explore how Shakespeare has become central to our way of thinking about ourselves and about others. His work permeates cultures across the world, where his writings are translated into the familiar, whether it be social, psychological or political. Each two-hour session will consist of a lecture and a discussion and analysis of extracts from Shakespeare’s most famous works. Students will also have the opportunity to present new approaches to selected moments/speeches/scenes through a piece of writing.
