This event will welcome Oxford Professor Emma Smith who will be talking about her work on Shakespeare and her bestselling book, 'This Is Shakespeare,' within which she dispels misconceptions about Shakespeare, highlights the controversial topics he wrote about, and argues that it is the ambiguities Shakespeare left behind that secures his relevance today.
Professor of Shakespeare Studies
Her research combines a range of approaches to Shakespeare and early modern drama. Much of her recent work has been about the reception of Shakespeare in performance, print, and criticism, and about the scholarly and cultural investments in Shakespearean criticism (including her own). She is also interested in drama in performance, in the methodology of writing about theatre, in reviewing and its rhetoric, and in productive analogies between cinema, film theory, and early modern performance.
