Talk by Harrison McCain visiting professor, Dr. Fiona Tolhurst: “Shakespeare as a (Not So) Great Playwright”
Learning a bit about William Shakespeare as a literary borrower and co-author requires today’s readers of Shakespeare plays to set aside their Romantic image of him as a solitary genius. This knowledge can help readers to appreciate both the brilliance of playwrights other than Shakespeare and the stylistic differences that mark him as superior to his contemporaries. By examining John Lyly’s Galatea, William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Hamlet, and Titus Andronicus, we will attempt to discover just how great the bard really is.
