- Synopsis
- Podcast series in which Dr Neema Parvini, author of Shakespeare’s History Plays: Rethinking Historicism and Shakespeare and Contemporary Theory: New Historicism and Cultural Materialism, interviews Shakespeare scholars and literary theorists from around the world in a bid to gain an understanding of current thinking in Shakespeare studies and in literary criticism more generally.

Topics include: the importance of interdisciplinary study; differences between the French and English versions of Marxism; Karl Marx; Jean-Paul Sartre; George Steiner; Cilla Black, the 1960s and cultural memory; nature versus nurture and the question of sexuality; how Stephen Greenblatt is a bit like Bob Dylan; how cultural materialism might proceed; do we need to try to define a set of human universals or not?; and the current state of play in Shakespeare studies and the importance of ‘thinking deep, thinking hard’. - Series
