Podcast: Approaching Shakespere
Each lecture in this series focuses on a single play by Shakespeare, and employs a range of different approaches to try to understand a central critical question about it. Rather than providing overarching readings or interpretations, the series aims to show the variety of different ways we might understand Shakespeare, the kinds of evidence that might be used to strengthen our critical analysis, and, above all, the enjoyable and unavoidable fact that Shakespeare's plays tend to generate our questions rather than answer them.

Fiona Stafford explores the various relationships between human lifestyles and trees, from mytholody to medicine. Facts and fables around seventeen common trees are explored, and the uses of wood, the importance of trees in slowing climate change, and the threats of tree diseases are all discussed in a rich book filled with unusual and fascinating facts.
