Shakespeare’s Animals
- Synopsis
- Video podcast. Why animals are everywhere in Shakespeare’s language. Only two actual animals definitely appear in Shakespeare’s plays: Crabbe in The Two Gentlemen of Verona and a hungry bear in The Winter’s Tale. But animals are everywhere in Shakespeare’s language. The talk by Tom MacFaul offers some suggestions as to why that is, and will show that the much-vaunted idea of human specialness in the Renaissance was highly precarious
