Does Shakespeare matter at the frontline of war? My new - and, sadly, still timely - article on Shakespeare’s use in Ukraine during Russia’s ongoing invasion has just been published open access in Humanities.

My (long!) article on ‘Shakespeare and War’ for Oxford Bibliographies has just been published!

It covers Shakespeare’s time through centuries of reception history & I hope is useful for research on this multifaceted, diverse & (alas) timely topic

Shakespeare at the Front
Join Dr Amy Lidster as she explores how Shakespeare has been used on the front lines of conflicts around the world and why he continues to matter for those most immediately affected by war.

A stormy end to 2023, but hopefully the beginning of something new here...
