In my blog I am continuing to refine my focus, and will be spending considerable time over the next few weeks learning about the methods of Renaissance learning. I want to know what Shakespeare was doing when he learned to write so that I can incorporate these methods, which have proved highly successful, into my own writing. In order to reach this goal I will:
- Identify the motivations for Renaissance education
- Examine Renaissance Teaching Skills
- Review and analyze some examples from the period
- revision: Analyze contemporary works for his time and find the similar process?
- revision: look to the source work and see the process from a section of it to the Shakespearian transformation of it (should show the method)
- Track the progression of these methods into their modern counterparts (if they exist)
- Apply these methods to an analysis of various Shakespeare works (specifically his plays)
- Teach in some setting according to these methods
- Apply these methods to a revision of the play that I am writing with Martin
This post will function as a hub for my learning and I will refer to and expand it as I continue to explore these specifics. Here we go!
