Lectures
Tuesday June 17: Shakespeare's Venice
Although an immense scholarly bibliography exists for each work, surprisingly little has been written on Shakespeare's two Venetian plays together. This suggests that there may be some resistance to discussing Jews and Moors together. The lecture considers similarities between the afterlife of the two plays and includes a slideshow tour of Shakespeare's Venice.
