Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Schools and universities are fast becoming managerial ‘courts’ of learning in which educators and students are system creatures busily fulfilling system protocols. 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.

Teaching Shakespeare and Marlowe sounds the depths of the problem in respect to Literary Studies and proposes strategies for effecting voluntary ‘exile’ from court in pursuit of more imaginative approaches to the teaching and learning of Shakespeare and Marlowe.
