Professor Friedberg is BACK! He's an expert on William Shakespeare, you're an expert on Taylor Swift, but WHO will win? We go into much more depth about the plays and lyrics/lines from both artists' works in this video. The full version is available on PATREON (first 30 days free), so if you want more reminiscing and Dad jokes, you know where to go!

"He didn't abandon his family. He just didn't live with them for 20 years or so." That was the best! I don't really listen to a lot of Taylor Swift, and I don't care for Shakespeare's plays (like his poetry, though). I still guessed about 85% of these right. This was fun!

As someone with B.A. in English (and a Masters in Library & Info Science) two things I hated in retrospect about the English education I received was 1) there was not a single foundational/intro course about proper grammar-I guess it was just assumed we received that education in high school and 2) very very limited course options for learning how to write. So basically the entire four years was just reading a shit ton of novels 🙄

This was so fun and also usefull,both for his knowledge about Shakespeare and his advice about writing an essay. And as both a swiftie and a Comparative Literatures master student, I love the fact that he is a university professor and yet, when faced with really good lines from a pop songs, has no problem or shame in saying "Thats brillant". Thanks to him for that! We need more scholars who are not snobish and so they can appreciate the literary worth of good lyrics in pop songs. Thank you, professor, sooo much!

@thefairychild 3 ай бұрын

@@Black-Rose12 No, providing willing financial support isn't abandonment. Not having anything to do with your family is. It's possible the professor was being sarcastic, but unlikely since Shakespeare split his time between London and Stratford-Upon-Avon. So this goes back to what I said before that living apart from your family due to a job isn't abandonment.
