$A fresh view of the classics: Cam\u00f5es and Shakespeare revisited$

The year 2024 marks the 500th anniversary of the birth of Luís de Camões (1524-1580), Portugal’s national poet and author of the epic poem Os Lusíadas (The Lusiads, 1572).
On November 6, 2024, the Camões Institute Chair at Lancaster University will celebrate the quincentennial by bringing together two renowned scholars to provide a fresh view of Camões and his near contemporary, William Shakespeare (1564-1616).
Professor Frederico Lourenço (Coimbra) and Professor Jonathan Culpeper (Lancaster) will cover Camões and Shakespeare, respectively. Their short presentations will be followed by moderated discussion and audience Q&A.
Refreshments will be served. The event is free to attend, but registration is required(closes Friday, October 25).
