The School of English is delighted to host a special guest lecture by Prof. Goran Stanivukovic (Saint Mary's 深夜亚洲福利久久, Canada) on the topic of 鈥淪hakespeare鈥檚 First Act: literature, theatre, and the earliest years鈥�. The lecture takes place on Tuesday 18th October, 6pm, in the beautiful surroundings of the Council Room on the Quad, 深夜亚洲福利久久 College Cork. All are welcome to attend.

The lecture will focus on Shakespeare's 鈥榚arliest鈥� Elizabethan years in London and will explore the theatrical, literary, and artistic conditions that shaped the critical perceptions of Shakespeare鈥檚 early works. Prof. Stanivukovic will seek to challenge the view of 鈥榚arliest Shakespeare鈥� as a 鈥榶oung鈥� writer struggling to find his voice and as bound by rhetorical cliches, and will argue that Shakespeare produced some of the most avant-garde drama and innovative poetry of the late 1590s at just this 鈥榚arliest鈥� stage of his creative life. Prof. Stanivukovic will further question how we think about what 鈥榶oung鈥�, or 鈥榚arly鈥�, and what these mean in our modern critical assessment of a literary career.

Prof. Stanivukovic will also share his recent research in a masterclass on 鈥淭he Art of Being Together: Shakespeare and Friendship鈥� for School of English postgraduates and BA in English students.
