Confirmed speaker Clive Letchford has provided a draft title and abstract: 'A school like any other? Shakespeare and an English grammar school education.' What did a schoolboy in a typical grammar school in Elizabethan England learn, and how was he taught? To what extent was Shakespeare鈥檚 experience at the Kynges New School typical? This session explores what we know of schooling in early modern England, including the account of a Plymouth schoolmaster, to illuminate the most formative influence on Shakespeare鈥檚 intellectual development.

Confirmed speaker David Lines has provided a draft title and abstract: 'Universities in the Renaissance.' How did professors teach and students learn in medieval and Renaissance Europe? This talk will look at developments from the thirteenth to the sixteenth century, particularly from the thirteenth to the sixteenth century, comparing the model of education in northern Europe (e.g., Paris) to that in Italy (e.g., Bologna and Padua).

Confirmed speaker Tim Wade has provided a draft title and abstract: 'People, places and a few plants: Travel as a form of Renaissance learning'. Not all learning took place in the classroom or lecture hall during the Renaissance. Many scholars travelled in and around Europe locating ancient monuments, discussing books or collecting natural specimens. This talk will follow in the footsteps of a few Renaissance travellers to see what could be learnt along the way.
