At ”Will: What Is He Good For?” We seek to explore the question of who was the Real Shakespeare - who wrote his beautiful words - because understanding who he was can unlock the key to understanding his works and words in a new way. It also can help to inform the argument - who is he for? Is Shakespeare an old relic - only the academics, those of his time, and the cultural “elite.” Or is he indeed for everyone who wants to know and experience his plays? Throughout our series, we’ll explore the Man from Stratford’s life, history, and explore textual clues that will prove who owns ...
