21.01.2022 How to Talk Like Shakespeare -Instead of you, say thou or thee (and instead of yall, say ye). -Rhymed couplets are all the rage. -Men are Sirrah, ladies are Mistress, and your friends are all called Cousin.... -Instead of cursing, try calling your tormenters jackanapes or canker-blossoms or poisonous bunch-backd toads. -Dont waste time saying "it," just use the letter "t" (tis, twill, Ill dot). -Verse for lovers, prose for ruffians, songs for clowns. -When in doubt, add the letters "eth" to the end of verbs (he runneth, he trippeth, he falleth). -To add weight to your opinions, try starting them with methinks, mayhaps, in sooth or wherefore. -When wooing ladies: try comparing her to a summers day. If that fails, say "Get thee to a nunnery!" -When wooing lads: try dressing up like a man. If that fails, throw him in the Tower, banish his friends and claim the throne. See more

Heigh ho, sing heigh ho, unto the green holly; most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly: Then, heigh ho, the holly! This life is most jolly. Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky, That dost not bite so nigh As benefits forgot: Though thou the waters warp, Thy sting is not so sharp As friend rememberd not. Heigh ho, sing heigh ho, unto the green holly: most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly: Then, heigh ho, the holly! This life is most jolly. William Shakespeare

13.01.2022 William Shakespeare is one of the most famous authors of all time. 2014 marks the 450th anniversary of his birth. His words have inspired and moved people from around the globe for centuries. How much do we know about Shakespeares cultural background and influences and why his works have endured? To get a real sense of how the Bards world would have actually looked and felt, renowned Shakespearean academic Professor Jonathan Bate will be exploring the acclaimed collections ...of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. Each week, Professor Bate will examine a particular play and a cultural theme alongside a selection of treasures from the Trusts archives in Stratford-upon-Avon. Weekly learning material will be broken down into six video segments, each examining a variety of artefacts and play extracts. The course will open with an introduction to Shakespeare and his living and working environment, moving onto broader cultural themes and issues examined in his plays and ending with an exploration of his legacy. This MOOC is the result of an exciting new collaboration between the University of Warwick and the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, the worlds leading charity in promoting the works, life and times of William Shakespeare.The MOOC will provide unprecedented access to the Trusts fascinating historical collections of museum, library and archive items. You will have the chance to look inside the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust vaults where thousands of artefacts are kept. The MOOC will also take you into some of the key locations associated with Shakespeare which are looked after by the Trust, including the house where he was born and grew up. This is a great opportunity to engage with a topic that has captivated people for centuries, learn from a world expert in the field and enjoy exclusive access to behind-the-scenes historical material. We hope to see you in March! REQUIREMENTS This course is aimed at anyone with an interest in Shakespeare; you might be a high school student or a university student, or a regular play-goer who wishes to learn more about Shakespeare. No prior knowledge of Shakespeare life, theatre and world is assumed: that is what you will learn from the course. The only pre-requisite is a willingness to read and watch the plays.
