Line by Line Shakespeare

These videos will guide you through Shakespeare's work with text and visual annotations. Line by line, you will explore Shakespeare's gift for language and invention. I don't place emphasis on themes, motifs, or symbols, although undoubtedly you will see all these elements at play. My focus is on helping your students read Shakespeare as they would enjoy any other author.

This two-minute video will guide your students through one of Shakespeare’s sonnets with text and visual annotations. Students might use this as a resource to help them at home. I designed these videos partly due to my disappointment with those superficial summaries and thematic analyses littering the web. A big thank-you to the following resources. Without such resources, this video would not have been possible: No Fear Shakespeare, the Oxford Shakespeare, the Arden Shakespeare, and the artists whose work appears here. Please get in touch if you'd like to know the source of any illustration, clip-art, photograph, or animation.
