Description:
Our schools and universities are formal courts of learning in which educators and students are system creatures busily fulfilling system protocols. Like Shakespeare in the classroom, any teacher or academic yearning for fresh and authentic approaches to their discipline must first find ways to imagine possibilities beyond the system's limits. This book sounds the depths of the problem in respect to Literary Studies and proposes strategies for effecting voluntarily exile from court. The project is vexed because systemic thought envelopes and shapes us. For the sake of ourselves, our students and learning, we must attempt to imagine the unimaginable. There is a cost in resisting the system and there are no guarantees of success, yet it is the only way to discover if some monster good lies beyond the goals the system has naturalised. Shakespeare and Marlowe are our subjects, guides and collaborators in this attempt.
