Are you struggling to understand the Bard’s famous works? Join me for this online event where we will dive into the beauty and complexity of Shakespeare’s language. By the end of the seminar, Shakespeare’s stories and characters will be clear to you even if you are completely bamboozled at the moment.

We will discover how Early Modern English (Shakespeare’s English) is different form our own and learn to make sense of verbs, idioms and ideas that sometimes cloud his work in mystery for new readers and/or English literature students.
