Renaissance literature projects

Shakespeare and the Bridewell Archives: This project will involve the design of a module in which students will study Shakespeare by means of independent research with the Elizabethan archives of the Bridewell Hospital held at the Bethlem Royal Hospital Archives and Museum, Beckenham, Kent. Students will encounter a vast store of memorable historical cases and actively (in groups of four) link these cases to Shakesepare plays. Staff and student reports and research seminar/conference presentations will disseminate the project internally and externally.; Project completion: Ongoing; Tags: Renaissance literature, Shakespeare, Linking teaching & research, CILASS, Inquiry-based learning
