This is an introductory talk on one of the best scholarly books on Shakespeare to appear in recent times, with a special focus on his female characters‘ plight.

We will examine how Cressida, Hermione, Desdemona (amongst others) suffer abuse at the hands of their lovers or husbands in a world where a lady’s word, or worth for that matter, is not as «potent as a lord’s», to put it mildly.

Let us analyze this together!  On thursday,  August 31st at 17 30 hs, in Belgrano’s Store (Conde 1990).

You can enroll here for free 💙 and see you soon.
