SHAKESPEARE CONFIGURED: A Symposium
UNIVERSITY OF YORK 9-10 October 2009

Conceived as the first in a series of symposia leading to a collection of essays, this meeting will take a fresh look at configurations - and reconfigurations - of Shakespeare from the earliest editions to the latest adaptations. An invited group of scholars will offer new materials and approaches for studying the packaging of the plays and poems through time, between cultures and across media (including early anthologies, Restoration rewritings, modern performances, marginalia, buildings, illustrations, sculptures, paintings and silent films).


REGISTRATION IS FREE BUT PLACES MUST BE BOOKED IN ADVANCE
