In fourteen brief, lively chapters that draw from Shakespeare's world and works, and from other writers past and present, Scott Newstok distills vital habits of mind that can help you think more deeply, write more effectively, and learn more joyfully, in school or beyond. Challenging a host of today's questionable notions about education, Newstok shows how mental play emerges through work, creativity through imitation, autonomy through tradition, innovation through constraint, and freedom through discipline. It was these practices, and a conversation with the past - not a fruitless obsession with assessment - that nurtured a mind like Shakespeare's. And while few of us can hope to approach the genius of the Bard, we can all learn from the exercises that shaped him. Written in a friendly, conversational tone and brimming with insights, How to Think like Shakespeare enacts the thrill of thinking on every page, reviving timeless 'and timely' ways to stretch your mind and hone your words.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39304308785349,"sku":"9780691207872","price":28.89,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/th_34692115-9c1e-4a4c-a88c-52be5e90ab1c.jpg?v=1614762694"},{"product_id":"9780300152180-rome-and-rhetoric-shakespeares-julius-caesar","title":"Rome and Rhetoric: Shakespeare's Julius Caesar","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: Garry Wills\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nFormat: Hardback\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nNumber of Pages: 160\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRenaissance plays and poetry in England were saturated with the formal rhetorical twists that Latin education made familiar to audiences and readers. Yet a formally educated man like Ben Jonson was unable to make these ornaments come to life in his two classical Roman plays. Garry Wills, focusing his attention on Julius Caesar, here demonstrates how Shakespeare so wonderfully made these ancient devices vivid, giving his characters their own personal styles of Roman speech.  In four chapters, devoted to four of the play's main characters, Wills shows how Caesar, Brutus, Antony, and Cassius each has his own take on the rhetorical ornaments that Elizabethans learned in school. Shakespeare also makes Rome present and animate by casting his troupe of experienced players to make their strengths shine through the historical facts that Plutarch supplied him with. The result is that the Rome English-speaking people carry about in their minds is the Rome that Shakespeare created for them. And that is even true, Wills affirms, for today's classical scholars with access to the original Roman sources.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40431173697733,"sku":"9780300152180","price":17.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/th_5ed188ef-8a2c-4637-95e7-5161dda127b8.jpg?v=1629798638"},{"product_id":"9781406389609-bold-and-brave-women-from-shakespeare","title":"Bold and Brave Women from Shakespeare","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nFormat: Hardback\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nNumber of Pages: 32\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiscover the fascinating stories of the bold and brave women in Shakespeare's plays.

The book provides a fresh narrative of Shakepeare's life, drawing on a wide range of primary sources. Rather than approaching Shakespeare as an isolated genius, Michael argues that he was very much a product of his place and time - a period of great upheaval that straddled the medieval and modern worlds. In doing so, Michael reinstates the image of Shakespeare as a thinking artist, his work based firmly in the religion, politics, culture and class antagonisms of his day.

'The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.'  How does one survive the death of a loved one, the mess of war, the experience of being schooled, of falling in love, of growing old, of losing your mind?  Shakespeare's world is never too far different from our own 'permeated with the same tragedies, the same existential questions and domestic worries. In this extraordinary book, Jonathan Bate brings then and now together. He investigates moments of his own life - losses and challenges - and asks whether, if you persevere with Shakespeare, he can offer a word of wisdom or a human insight for any time or any crisis. Along the way we meet actors such as Judi Dench and Simon Callow, and writers such as Dr Johnson, John Keats, Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath, who turned to Shakespeare in their own dark times.  This is a personal story about loss, the black dog of depression, unexpected journeys and the very human things that echo through time, resonating with us all at one point or another.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44084351631579,"sku":"9780008167462","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9780008167462.jpg?v=1682994575"},{"product_id":"9780008318925-no-boys-play-here-a-story-of-shakespeare-and-my-familys-missing-men","title":"No Boys Play Here: A Story of Shakespeare and My Family's Missing Men","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: Sally Bayley\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nFormat: Paperback \/ softback\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nNumber of Pages: 272\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Nobody writes like Sally Bayley' Lemn Sissay  From the brilliantly original and critically acclaimed Sally Bayley, a literary story of working class childhood, absent or broken men and the power of literature to save and rebuild a world.  In Sally Bayley's childhood, the men were often missing. Missing because they were drunk, or out of work, or wandering. Or missing because their behaviour meant women banned them from the house.  The man who was around for Sally was Shakespeare, and he brought men with him to fill the gaps. Sally grew up with a troupe of sad kings and lonely heroes. Her mind ran away from home with Falstaff and Prince Hal, with deceivers and mavericks and geniuses.  In her signature and extraordinary style, this is Sally's story of her childhood - one lived with darkness snapping at heels, with real and imagined people passing through interchangeably, and with trauma a spiky memory to be skirted and avoided.  Inventive, literary and adventurous, this is a story of hard childhood and a testament to the way that great literature and its characters can guard an imagination against the bad.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44094894702811,"sku":"9780008318925","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9780008318925.jpg?v=1683600938"},{"product_id":"literary-quote-t-shirt","title":"Literary Quote T-shirt","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur Literary Quote T-shirts are made with 100% organic cotton, providing all the comfort of a relaxed fit, with a literary flourish!

Some snippets- Shakespeare was secretly a Roman Catholic; he wrote many more plays but these have been lost; the witches in Macbeth were not hags but women fairies or nymphs played by boys; he 'best' bed was for guests which was why he bequeathed his wife his 'second best' bed (the matrimonial bed in which he probably died); 'ham acting' derives from the strutting walk which showed off the ham-strings; an actor called 'Will' played female parts (could it have been Shakespeare himself?) and the strongest bond in the plays is between father and daughter perhaps reflecting Shakespeare's own family life.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44172188975323,"sku":"9781856197267-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/md31522004680.jpg?v=1688718131"},{"product_id":"9780297848813-secondhand-the-age-of-shakespeare","title":"The Age of Shakespeare","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eNB: This is a secondhand book in very good condition.

Park Honan examines the world of the playing companies - the power of patronage, theatrical conditions, and personal rivalries - to reveal the relationship between the man and the writing, and using previously unpublished material explores the causes of Shakespeare's success; Stratford childhood, his parents' capabilities, and his preparations for a London career.

'The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.'  How does one survive the death of a loved one, the mess of war, the experience of being schooled, of falling in love, of growing old, of losing your mind?  Shakespeare's world is never too far different from our own 'permeated with the same tragedies, the same existential questions and domestic worries. In this extraordinary book, Jonathan Bate brings then and now together. He investigates moments of his own life - losses and challenges - and asks whether, if you persevere with Shakespeare, he can offer a word of wisdom or a human insight for any time or any crisis. Along the way we meet actors such as Judi Dench and Simon Callow, and writers such as Dr Johnson, John Keats, Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath, who turned to Shakespeare in their own dark times.  This is a personal story about loss, the black dog of depression, unexpected journeys and the very human things that echo through time, resonating with us all at one point or another.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44868947738843,"sku":"9780008167493-RETAIL","price":19.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9780008167493.jpg?v=1708337161"},{"product_id":"9780415027083-secondhand-twelfth-night","title":"\"Twelfth Night\"","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eNB: This is a secondhand book in very good condition.
