Simon Schama's Shakespeare(2012)

Simon Schama's Shakespeare is a documentary series that examines William Shakespeare's life and era to illuminate his greatest plays with fresh insight. Schama investigates a central question: did Shakespeare invent the very concept of Englishness, or did he simply reflect it? Through rigorous analysis and compelling argument, the series makes a persuasive case that Shakespeare fundamentally shaped English identity itself. Rather than treating the plays as isolated masterpieces, Schama grounds them in the turbulent politics, religious upheaval, and cultural ferment of Renaissance England. The series reveals how Shakespeare's genius lay not just in his language and characterization, but in his ability to capture and define what it meant to be English at a pivotal moment in the nation's history. Essential viewing for anyone seeking to understand both Shakespeare and the cultural forces that created him.
