„The focus of this often inspiring book is the teaching ofShakespeare at uni-versity level. It had never occurred to methat anything as sophisticated as a pedagogy might actuallyunderpin university teaching.“ (Early Theatre, 2010)
„This is a dangerous book: it induces intense envy of the studentswho take classes with these brilliant Shakespeare teachers and itencourages immediate theft for our own courses of the classroomideas that the authors so exhilaratingly describe in theirchapters. Above all it forces us to reconsider how we teachShakespeare and to rethink what kinds of discovery we want to makewith our students. Shand and his team are wonderful guides, helpingus profoundly to understand the contexts and circumstances of ourteaching and our learning.“
-Peter Holland, University of Notre Dame
