A Short Take on Protecting Lear in a Storm.
Elliot, Cynthia
Michigan Community College Journal: Research & Practice, v7 n2 p69-72 Fall 2001
Recounts author's experience in teaching 'King Lear' to her community college students. States that many students denounced Shakespeare's work as having little relevance to contemporary society. Argues that the author's plays and poems are relevant and timeless, and that one should "reason not the need" for reading his work. (AUTH/NB)
