Please join us as MIT’s Diana Henderson discusses her new book, “Collaborations with the Past.” By concentrating on rich yet problematic instances of Shakespeare’s reanimation in such quintessentially modern forms as the novel and film, from Sir Walter Scott’s “Kenilworth” to Kenneth Branagh’s “Henry V”, Diana Henderson sketches a complex history of the pleasures and difficulties that ensue when Shakespeare and modern artists collaborate. Location: MIT 32-155, Stata Center, 32 Vassar Street, Cambridge Time: November 14 (Tuesday), 5:30 pm This event is free and wheelchair accessible.

Cornell University Press, 2006
