Jessie Buckley 'overwhelmed' to be starring in Oscar-tipped Hamnet

BBC News

Jessie Buckley'overwhelmed' to be starring in Oscar-tipped Hamnet The Oscar-tipped Hamnet, starring Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal, is a film that shows the full range of human emotions, from elation to despair. It begins with a young William Shakespeare falling in love with Agnes (the other name by which the playwright's wife, historically referred to as Anne Hathaway, was known), and goes on to explore their immense grief after tragedy strikes their young family. But while it explores the sad origins of one of Shakespeare's greatest plays, Hamlet, it never portrays Agnes as just the playwright's wife - she is at the heart of the film. She was the full story of what I understand a woman to be, Buckley tells BBC News. And their capacity as women, and as mothers, and as lovers, and as people who have a language unto their own beside gigantic men of literature like Shakespeare.


Is a robot programmed to prank you annoying? Yes

Is a robot programmed to prank you annoying? Feedback discovers a robot that can mimic Turkish ice cream vendors, who are known for playing tricks on their customers. Researchers concluded that customers, perhaps predictably, don't trust it Feedback is a grumpy sort, so we run a mile when faced with any kind of enforced fun. It is possible, therefore, that we would struggle to buy an ice cream in Turkey, because doing so requires enjoying, or at least tolerating, an extended prank. Turkish ice cream vendors are prone to playing tricks on their customers, like handing them a cone full of ice cream only to whisk it out of their grasp using sleight of hand.


There's a Literacy Crisis. One Classroom Solution Should Be Obvious.

You can't get better at reading until you care about a text. We are English professors who stumbled into a debate about high school pedagogy. We wrote a book to help college instructors teach close reading, the fundamental skill of literary studies. And then, well before it was published, we started hearing from education scholars training high school teachers, and high school teachers themselves, who had caught wind of the book through advance essays and word of mouth. They were interested in how we describe close reading, the tools we provide for teaching it, and the claim we make for its importance.
