We think we know them - these four monumental literary works. But the truth is that they keep changing as fashions and preoccupations change, and as we ourselves grow older, possibly wiser, and perhaps more knowledgeable. Humphrey Tonkin, who has been teaching Shakespeare, on and off, for upwards of fifty years, looks again at Shakespeare's major tragedies and their influences on us and our society. The course is timed to coincide with the Hartt School's production of Hamlet, February 23-26, which course participants will be able to attend without charge.
