Starting March 3, the University of Warwick will be hosting a FREE and online class entitled “Shakespeare and His World" (click the link to go to the course page). The class is open to anyone of any educational level. All that’s required is a willingness to read and watch the plays and then examine them.
Each week for a total of ten weeks, Professor Bate will examine a particular play and a cultural theme alongside a selection of treasures from the Trust’s archives in Stratford-upon-Avon. Weekly learning material will be broken down into six video segments, each examining a variety of artefacts and play extracts. The course will open with an introduction to Shakespeare and his living and working environment, moving onto broader cultural themes and issues examined in his plays and ending with an exploration of his legacy.
