My Country Right And Wrong

from The Shakespeare Mindset: Improve your life the Bard way not the hard way

"This England never did nor never shall Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror, But when it first did help to wound itself." As a teenager in the 1970s battling racism I'd always thought of Shakespeare as the embodiment of English nationalism. In this delightful episode Michael Dobson, head of the Shakespeare Institute at Stratford-upon-Avon, explains why I couldn't have been more wrong. Hosted on Acast.
