It’s true that you never know the way(s) in which you’ll be affected by the works of William Shakespeare. Last summer, the Folger Shakespeare Library hosted twenty-five teachers from around the country who participated in Folger Education’s Teaching Shakespeare Institute. This four-week program where teachers explore four plays from the viewpoints of scholarship, pedagogy, and performance is consistently described by participants as “life changing”. It is in many ways. One of th0se ways can be seen in the recent writing by Gabriel Fernandez, a 2012 TSI participant. His writing, Seeking the Bubble Reputation, is a deeply moving piece — reflective, instructive, and engaging. Fernandez’s insights, his integration of Shakespeare as he explores those insights, his “visualizations” (as one reader noted) are remarkable. “There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so” (Hamlet, 2.2). How have you been affected by Shakespeare’s work? How has it influenced your own work? Your teaching?
