FALL 2024
O, sir, we quarrel in print by the book, as you have books for good manners. I will name you the degrees. The first, the Retort Courteous; the second, the Quip Modest; the third, the Reply Churlish;
-- Touchstone from As You Like It
Please join us for a selection of essays on Shakespeare and politics. We thought this might be illuminating with the upcoming American presidential election in November.
​
Well-known thinkers discuss Shakespeare's understanding of politics, and the relationship between characters and political life, religion, and philosophy.
​​​​
We will begin the ongoing group email on September 29th, and we'll end with a final Zoom get-together in December.
​
It's a community, not a class so no pressure to do it perfectly. Fine to fall behind a bit or skim ahead! Note, you must participate to the best of your ability from the start in order to attend the final Zoom.
