Ben Crystal | Part 1: Sonnet 18 | Speaking the bright and beautiful English of Shakespeare

Part 1 of this lecture, looking at Sonnet 18. (the full lecture can now be viewed here:    • Speaking the Bright & Beautiful English of...  ) The British Council and the English-Speaking Union welcomed Ben Crystal as part of the English Language Council lecture series. This 2014 lecture marked the 450th anniversary of the birth of William Shakespeare. The guardian of English poetry, the inventor of over 1,000 words still in use today, and one of the greatest players with our language, Shakespeare has given us a treasure trove of English to read - funny how so much of it doesn't make sense until it's spoken out-loud. Actor and author Ben Crystal explores the accent, the theatrical conventions, and the world of Shakespeare, to reveal a bright and beautiful English. With Jennifer Jackson & Aslam Husain.
