SUMMARY:ANNULE / De-dramatising Shakespeare\, with a little help from Hamle
 t     English
DESCRIPTION:By Valerie Fehlbaum\n\nWednesday 12.30pm to 1.45pm\, on 18 Sept
 ember\, 2\, 16 and 30 October\, 13 and 27 November\, 11 December 2024 and 
 on 8 and 22 January\, 5 and 19 February\, 5 and 19 March\, 2 and 16 April 
 2025\n\nAfter obtaining her B.A. at St Hilda’s College\, Oxford\, Valeri
 e Fehlbaum moved to Switzerland where she taught English as a Foreign Lang
 uage for a few years before joining the English Department at the Universi
 ty of Geneva. She then went on to obtain an M.A. in Gender Studies and a P
 h.D. on the New Woman at the University of Wales\, Aberystwyth. Her subseq
 uent monograph on Ella Hepworth Dixon was initially published by Ashgate i
 n 2005\, and republished in paperback by Taylor &amp\; Francis in 2019. Sh
 e has also lectured at the University of Neuchâtel\, and tutored with the
  Open University.\n\nOver four hundred years after his death\, Shakespeare
  remains omnipresent. His works are constantly being read\, analysed\, and
 \, more importantly\, performed\, not only in his native ‘scepter’d is
 le’\, but practically everywhere on the globe. Moreover\, his plays have
  continually been adapted for various stages\, the big screen\, the small 
 screen and now computer screens. Many English speakers\, often unknowingly
 \, regularly employ expressions coined by him\, and yet many\, perhaps the
  very same people\, express great reticence at the idea of meeting the Bar
 d face to face or\, more precisely\, via the written page.\n\nIn this cerc
 le de lecture\, by means of a close study of Hamlet\, we shall examine the
  whys and wherefores of most people’s anxieties\, and attempt\, ultimate
 ly\, to dispel such fears and pre-conceived ideas.\n\nNo previous knowledg
 e or experience is required\, but a hard copy (any edition) of Hamlet woul
 d be an advantage.
