Description
Each lecture in this series focuses on a single play by Shakespeare, and employs a range of different approaches to try to understand a central critical question about it. Rather than providing overarching readings or interpretations, the series aims to show the variety of different ways we might understand Shakespeare, the kinds of evidence that might be used to strengthen our critical analysis, and, above all, the enjoyable and unavoidable fact that Shakespeare's plays tend to generate our questions rather than answer them.

This pod cast takes all the fun out of Shakespeare and tries to over educates it. This is what I expected from the University of Oxford. There are many other, BETTER casts to enjoy Shakespeare, which are not as pompous as this one.
