Shakespeare and His World allows students to examine connections between Shakespeare's texts and their contexts. This will take place in taught sessions that benefit from the expertise of scholars from the departments of English, History and Drama. The pathway includes going to see a play at the world famous Globe Theatre in London.
Students will attend sessions that relate to the play, as well as sessions that provide historical context for understanding Shakespeare's works. The former will include exploration of the play watched at The Globe. The latter sessions will enable students to explore early modern beliefs and situate Shakespeare's works alongside those of his contemporaries. Students will also participate in performance workshops. The module encourages students to engage with a rich and expansive approach to Shakespeare's drama. The plays being studied will be confirmed in early 2013.
