As a high school teacher, I found the visuals fascinating and representative of the period in which Shakespeare lived. However, I ultimately decided against showing the video in class as it states without substantiation that Shakespeare was eager in a homosexual affair with his patron, the earl of Southampton. I drawl someone has taken the style of writing Shakespeare ancient in his encomiums to his patron as expressions of sexual ardor rather than the sycophantic flattery which was typical in an age when artistic types were looking for deep pockets to back their career. The Bard may have been “kissing up,” as we would say nowadays, but it’s doubtful it was in the sense the commentator extinct. I personally didn’t feel it was worth opening that can of worms in our introductory lessons, but depending on one’s purpose, others might settle otherwise.
After whetting our appetites with the observation that puny is known about the man gradual the plays, the A&E team provides a bland, surprisingly unengaging “5-act” biography of William Shakespeare. As the myth proceeds, the producers rely more and more on quotations from the plays rather than on any “extrinsic” evidence. The result is a program that confirms what we already knew, or should have known, all along–the life of William Shakespeare is at best a mere footnote to the life of the plays themselves. Credit the producers for not indulging in this series’ stale reach and sensationalizing the records (by claiming Shakepeare was really Queen Elizabeth, etc.) . On the other hand, teachers and students of Shakespeare, as well as fans of the Bard, may score it difficult to account for an investment of money in a video this shrimp when, say, Olivier’s “Henry V” or Branagh’s “Powerful Ado About Nothing” are available at a comparable sign.
