How and Why We Teach Shakespeare College Teachers and Directors Share How They Explore the Playwright’s Works with Their Students

In How and Why We Teach Shakespeare 19 distinguished college teachers and directors draw from their personal experiences and share their methods and the reasons why they teach Shakespeare. The collection is divided into four sections: studying the text as a script for performance; exploring Shakespeare by performing; implementing specific techniques for getting into the plays; and working in different classrooms and settings. The contributors offer a rich variety of topics including: working with cues in Shakespeare such as line and mid-line endings that lead to questions of interpretation seeing Shakespeare’s stage directions and the Elizabethan playhouse itself as contributing to a play’s meaning using the gamified learning model or cue-cards to get into the text thinking of the classroom as a rehearsal playing the Friar to a student’s Juliet in a production of Romeo and Juliet teaching Shakespeare to inner-city students or in a country torn by political and social upheavals. For fellow instructors of Shakespeare the contributors address their own philosophies of teaching the relation between scholarship and performance and—perhaps most of all—why in this age the study of Shakespeare is so important.

Shakespeare in the Present Political Lessons under Biden

Shakespeare in the Present: Political Lessons under Biden is the first case study in applying the lessons of Shakespeare’s plays to post-Trump America. It looks at American politics through the lens of Shakespeare not simply equating figures in the contemporary world to Shakespearean characters but showing how the broader conditions of Shakespeare’s imagined worlds reflect and inform our own. Clearly written in a direct and engaging style it shows that reading Shakespeare with our contemporary Washington in mind can enrich our understanding of both his works and our world. Shakespeare wrote for his own time but we always read him in our present. As such the way we read him now is always affected by our own understanding of our own political world. This book provides quick critical analyses of Shakespeare’s plays and contemporary American politics while serving as an introduction for undergraduates and general readers to this kind of topical presentist criticism of Shakespeare. | Shakespeare in the Present Political Lessons under Biden

Shakespeare Minus 'Theory'

Demonstrating and defending a method of close reading and historical contextualisation of Shakespeare and his contemporaries this collection of essays by Tom McAlindon combines a number of previously published pieces with original studies. The volume includes six interpretative studies all but one of which involve challenges to radical readings of the plays involved including Henry V Coriolanus The Tempest and Doctor Faustus. The other three essays are critiques of the claims and methods of radical postmodernist criticism (new historicism and cultural materialism especially); they illustrate the author's conviction that some leading scholars in the field of Renaissance literature and drama who deserve credit for shifting attention to new areas of interest must also be charged with responsibility for a marked decline in standards of analysis interpretation and argument. Likely to provoke considerable debate this stimulating collection is an important contribution to Shakespeare studies. | Shakespeare Minus 'Theory'

Shakespeare and Emotional Expression Finding Feeling through Colour

Shakespeare and Emotional Expression offers an exciting new way of considering emotional transactions in Shakespearean drama. The book is significant in its scope and originality as it uses the innovative medium of colour terms and references to interrogate the early modern emotional register. By examining contextual and cultural influences this work explores the impact these influences have on the relationship between colour and emotion and argues for the importance of considering chromatic references as a means to uncover emotional significances. Using a broad range of documents it offers a wider understanding of affective expression in the early modern period through a detailed examination of several dramatic works. Although colour meanings fluctuate by paying particular attention to contextual clues and the historically specific cultural situations of Shakespeare’s plays this book uncovers emotional significances that are not always apparent to modern audiences and readers. Through its examination of the nexus between the history of emotions and the social and cultural uses of colour in early modern drama Shakespeare and Emotional Expression adds to our understanding of the expressive and affective possibilities in Shakespearean drama. | Shakespeare and Emotional Expression Finding Feeling through Colour
