Episode Synopsis


What is it that makes great works from the past endure in the present? In this 10-Minute Talk, Professor Sir Jonathan Bate FBA explores Shakespeare’s legacy and his continued cultural presence over time. From influencing Jane Austen’s writing, to inspiring modern-day TV and film adaptations like 1999’s ‘10 Things I Hate About You’ and 2023’s ‘Anyone but You’, or providing a means for avoiding censorship, Shakespeare’s works live on in the present and bring the past back to life.  Speaker: Professor Sir Jonathan Bate FBA, Foundation Professor of Environmental Humanities, Arizona State University; Senior Research Fellow, Worcester College, University of Oxford   This podcast is for informative and educational purposes.  10-Minute Talks are a series of pre-recorded talks from Fellows of the British Academy screened each Friday on YouTube and also available on Apple Podcasts. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/10-minute-talks/id1530020476    Find out more about the British Academy: https://www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/    For future events, visit our website: https://www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/events/    Subscribe to our email newsletter: https://email.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/p/6P7Q-5PO/newsletter
