Shakespeare's Principal Plays by Ralph Williams

Shakespeare's Principal Plays

by Ralph Williams

Title Details

 
Audio Original
Join the energetic professor Ralph Williams as he takes his students on a journey through Shakespeare’s major plays for one final semester at the University of Michigan. For Williams, the reason Shakespeare’s legacy is so vast is due not only to the depth of his writing, but also because as plays, they “live” in a way that allows them to be re-written and re-envisioned. This has led to a long history of reinterpretation, where Shakespeare’s brilliant work has been fit into new historical contexts that allow us to see both the work and ourselves in a new light. Perhaps no one else is more performable within so many cultural contexts and in this course, a one-of-a-kind teacher tries to touch on why.
