In this free webinar series, Shakespeare expert Professor Emma Smith will be discussing a different Oxford World's Classics Shakespeare title each month. Emma will be in conversation with the writers of the new introductions specially commissioned for this series, discussing the play and how we might approach it differently in the twenty-first century.
This month, Emma will be discussing The Merry Wives of Windsor with Callan Davies, Lecturer in Seventeenth-Century Literature and Culture, University of Southampton.
The event is run by Oxford University's English Faculty in collaboration with Oxford University Press, the publishers of the Oxford World's Classics series. Register on this page and you will be sent a link to the webinar a few days before the event.
