Shakespeare in America With James Shapiro
To mark the occasion of Shakespeare’s 450th birthday, scholar James Shapiro discusses his new anthology, Shakespeare in America, which, as he writes in the introduction, is also “a history of America itself, not the straightforward narrative found in textbooks, but rather one that runs parallel to the conventional story of the nation, a more sharp-edged one expressed through two-and-a-half centuries of essays, parodies, burlesques, poems, speeches, short stories, letters, musicals, novels, reviews, films, and staged performances. These works, by some of the most creative minds in America, explore the cultural fault-lines that have always existed just below the surface of our national conversations.”
Arrive early and experience Love the Words—A 75th-Anniversary Exhibition of rare photos and correspondence opening on September 25 in our Art Gallery.
This event is underwritten in memory of Harold W. and Ida L. Goldstein by the Estate of Sanford Goldstein.
