Teaching Shakespeare: Passing It On

"The focus of this often inspiring book is the teaching of Shakespeare at uni­versity level. It had never occurred to me that anything as sophisticated as a pedagogy might actually underpin university teaching." (Early Theatre, 2010)

"This is a dangerous book: it induces intense envy of the students who take classes with these brilliant Shakespeare teachers and it encourages immediate theft for our own courses of the classroom ideas that the authors so exhilaratingly describe in their chapters. Above all it forces us to reconsider how we teach Shakespeare and to rethink what kinds of discovery we want to make with our students. Shand and his team are wonderful guides, helping us profoundly to understand the contexts and circumstances of our teaching and our learning."
