"to write and read comes by nature": Imagining an alternative ShakespeareAbout this Event
Fiction has always played an important role in our culture's imaginings of Shakespeare (Shakespeare in Love; All is True; Nothing Like the Sun; Hamnet) and has worked generally to confirm the traditional historical narrative of his life and genius. Fiction has played an equally important role in our culture's imaginings of an alternative author of the works, one which paints an entirely different picture to those more orthodox portrayals and which opens the historical narrative to much wider possibilities. Today's conference will discuss and examine some of the most significant of these "alternative fictions" with the writers themselves introducing us to their stories. Additionally, the SAT will announce the launch of its new and exciting essay competition.
NOTE:
Buying this ticket permits you access to the first part of our gathering only. If you would also like to attend the afternoon event (A performance of Ros Barber's The Marlowe Papers), you can purchase a separate ticket here
