Dear ,
Did you know that Shakespeare helped create the English language we use today? Scholars have identified more than 2,000 words attributed to the Bard that are still in common use.
Join us as and celebrate the “infinite variety” of Shakespeare’s works with Carol Ann Lloyd Stanger, a Tudor and Renaissance scholar, as she takes a look at the comedies, the tragedies, and
the histories.
Follow Stanger and:
- View a variety of interpretations of the plays that continue to shape our culture
- Consider the influence of Shakespeare evident all around us—in quotations engraved on buildings, in television and movies, and in theaters
- Take the opportunity to experience the power of Shakespeare’s language by joining in to recite some of his most famous speeches
Heed the invitation: “Come, temperate nymphs, and help to celebrate” (The Tempest).
