Amanda Mabillard

Amanda Mabillard is a freelance writer specializing in Shakespeare, Renaissance political theory, theatre history, comparative literary history, and linguistic topics in Renaissance literature.

Amanda Mabillard has been exploring the life, works, and world of England's greatest writer for over a decade.

Amanda received her B.A. (Honors) in English from the University of Alberta, Canada, in 1997, and continued post-graduate studies in political science with a focus on Renaissance political theory. Her thesis explored the nature of power and kingship in Shakespeare's second tetralogy of history plays.

In weekly features I will focus on discussions about Shakespeare's plays and sonnets and interesting facts about Shakespeare. I would definitely like to hear feedback from viewers telling me what they would like to see in upcoming features.
