Money and status in Shakespeare

Professor Emma Smith explores the themes of money and status in relation to Shakespeare. Beginning with Shakespeare’s own life – a tale of social mobility – she then looks at how he presents these themes in his plays. Using Twelfth Night and Coriolanus as examples she explores whether Shakespeare approved of social mobility, and poses the question: is he on the side of the rich or the side of the poor? http://www.oup.com/shakespeare Emma Smith teaches at Hertford College, Oxford, and has published and lectured widely on Shakespeare and his contemporaries, and on the reception of Shakespeare. Her new book Shakespeare's First Folio: Four Centuries of an Iconic Book will be published in March 2016. © Oxford University Press
