For the first episode of Let’s Talk Shakespeare, I asked “Was Shakespeare Educated?”. This is a really interesting question that we are asked regularly and one that have to pull on lots of different sources of information to get an answer. In this episode we discuss how we know that Shakespeare went to school, where he went, what his school day would have been like and what he learned. We also think about Shakespeare and continued learner and the evidence of this in his work. Keep you ears open for a reference to Terry Pratchett!This weeks guests are:Professor Stanley Wells, Honorary President of the SBTProfessor Michael Dobson, Director of the Shakespeare InstituteDr Elizabeth Dollimore, Outreach and Primary Learning Manager a the SBTDr Anjna Chouhan, Lecturer in Shakespeare Studies at the SBTDr Tara Hamling, Senior Lecturer in Early Modern history at Birmingham UniversityMadeleine Cox, Reading Room and Public Services Coordinator at the SBTYou can find show notes for this episode over on our blog: http://findingshakespeare.co.uk/lets-talk-shakespeare-shakespeare-educated
