Thursday Lunchtime Lecture - 'The Noblest Roman of Them All: Gender and Heroism in Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra' Date: 11/2/2006; 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM Location: Room 2022, 202 South Thayer Street, Ann Arbor Host Department: Institute for the Humanities Mary Beth Rose, English, Humanities, University of Illinois, Chicago Speaking of Shakespeare. . . A trio of presentations offered by the Institute for the Humanities and the University Musical Society in connection with the residency of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Detailed Information Six of Shakespeare’s ten tragedies focus on aristocratic male militarism as the form that heroism takes. He wrote Julius Caesar early in his career; Antony and Cleopatra, a much later play, presents a continuation of the same story of Roman conquest and turmoil, sacrifice and/or suicide. Comparing Shakespeare’s representation of the glamorous, failed destinies of his heroes, particularly in terms of gender, illuminates the changing, growing dimensions of his trenchant critique of the heroic. Free and open to the public. Contact Information Doretha Coval dcoval@umich.edu 734 936 3518 |
