Vanishing Shakespeare
BevK April 24th, 2007
Our family has been studying the comedies of Shakespeare this last year. We’ve combined two sets of Teaching Company lectures with watching movies of a number of the plays. Right now we’re reading The Merchant of Venice.
At the Corner yesterday, Stanley Kurtz wrote a post about vanishing Shakespeare, pertaining to Shakespeare vanishing from the college curriculum for English majors, that was interesting reading. He also goes into why Shakespeare is vanishing, and it’s not the difficulty with language that some might believe.
