Description
Shakespeare's Guide to Hope, Life, and Learning presents a unique conversation between four of Shakespeare's most popular plays and our modern experience. Award-winning teachers Lisa Dickson, Shannon Murray, and Jessica Riddell explore how these plays help us appreciate and responsibly interrogate the perspectives of others. The book analyzes King Lear, As You Like It, Henry V, and Hamlet, revealing their relevance to social justice and transformation. Through lively discussions in the margins of each essay, the authors carry on conversations that mirror the open, ongoing thinking inspired by Shakespeare's works. This critical hope is informed by ideas from thinkers such as Paulo Freire, Parker J. Palmer, Ira Shor, John D. Caputo, and bell hooks. By examining these genres - tragedy, history, and comedy - with distinct perspectives from their own experiences, the authors advocate for a nuanced understanding of the world around us. This book is an engaging exploration of how Shakespeare's plays can inform our teaching practices and inspire critical thinking in the classroom and beyond.
