Schools and universities are fast becoming managerial 'courts' of
learning in which educators and students are system creatures busily
fulfilling system protocols. Any teacher or academic yearning for fresh
and authentic approaches to their discipline must first find ways to
imagine possibilities beyond the system's limits.
This book sounds the depths of the problem in respect to Literary
Studies and proposes strategies for effecting voluntary 'exile' from
court in pursuit of more imaginative approaches to the teaching and
learning of Shakespeare and Marlowe.
