In fourteen brief chapters that draw from Shakespeare's world and works, and from other writers past and present, Scott Newstok distills enduring practices that can make learning more creative and pleasurable. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChallenging 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten in a friendly, conversational tone and brimming with insights, \u003ci\u003eHow to Think like Shakespeare\u003c\/i\u003e enacts the thrill of thinking on every page, reviving timeless--and timely--ways to stretch your mind and hone your words.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eScott Newstok\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of English and founding director of the Pearce Shakespeare Endowment at Rhodes College.
