Event Description
With Professor Katherine Walker
This talk will highlight how authors like Shakespeare and his contemporaries experimented with belief in magic, producing spectacular results upon the stage.
Focus will be on the texts and belief of magic, where figures like fairies, ghosts, and demons will mke an appearance. We'll meet an interesting cast of characters, from charlatans to astrologers, witches and priests. And in the end, we will think about how magic threads throughout some of the greatest plays of the renaissance.
For ages 18+ in the combined Community & Board Rooms
