Scientists,
psychologists and English academics at Liverpool
University have found that reading the
works of Shakespeare and other classical
writers has a beneficial effect on the
mind, catches the reader’s attention and
triggers moments of self-reflection.
The research also found that reading poetry,
in particular, increases activity in
the right hemisphere of the brain, an area
concerned with “autobiographical
memory”, helping the reader to reflect on and
reappraise their own experiences in
light of what they have read. The academics
said this meant the classics were more
useful than self-help books.
