Description:

Four centuries after the passing of the world’s most famous author, it’s tempting to put the man on a pedestal—sometimes quite literally. But William Shakespeare didn’t write from a lofty tower; his relatable themes, colorful characters, sharp satire and bawdy jokes have always marked him a man of the people. Which is why connecting with Shakespeare today shouldn’t be difficult or uncommon. Join Northwestern Libraries as we revel in our many holdings—from rare books to theatre archives to our general collection—that give students and faculty different ways to discover, learn from and re-tell Shakespeare’s tales.
