Shakespeare Fact and Fiction @ the Main Library

Friday November 18, 2016 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM

This talk seeks to displace persistent myths about Shakespeare, such as what he wrote and what he looked like, and it will also demonstrate the Bard's keen insights into societal beliefs and goings-on that work themselves into his writing with specific reference to 'The Taming of the Shrew'.

Speaker: Corey Abate holds a PhD from New York University and has published numerous scholarly articles on the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. She has taught English in area private high schools for much of her 20-year teaching career, and has been a proud resident of Parsippany since 2000.
