Shakespeare and Relevance (Part 1 of 2)
21/02/2018 Duration: 01h02minYour fearless PhDs are back with another installment, this time exploring the relationship of Shakespeare to the current state of the humanities. Is he a pillar of the language and the field that must be protected at all costs, or are we due for a little iconoclasm? How necessary is studying the Bard of Avon to those pursuing an English Renaissance degree? To what extent is the "Shakespeare" we know and love rooted to the idea of the text, or how much of him is embedded in performance and timeliness? In short - do we have to make our peace with Shakespeare to save the humanities? Please find us on Facebook and Twitter, and like, share, rate, and subscribe!
