This podcast is aimed at a non-specialist audience interested in acquiring what Northrop Frye called, in the title of one of his books, an educated imagination. Its materials are drawn from the many courses in literature and mythology that I taught, combined with material from my book The Productions of Time, for which I hope the podcast may provide an accessible introduction, with concrete examples.

Episode 238: Shakespeare’s Macbeth. The Scottish Play, in Honor of King James of Scotland and England. Background about the Historical Macbeth. The Opening Scenes.

Macbeth (1606) is a play about real Scottish history, but is also a drama of the mind, clearly written with James I in mind, who was both Scottish and obsessed with witches. The opening scenes alternate between political and military doings and the dark Otherworld of the blasted heath, with the three witches.
