Shakespeare After Class: Julius Caesar (Online)

Come discuss Shakespeare! Once per month we look at a play by Shakespeare from the perspective that Shakespeare might have something to teach us (rather than the other way around) about politics and human nature. Open to interested Humber faculty, administrators, support staff, and students with a recommendation from a professor. You don’t need a background in English literature to attend.

Our next play is Julius Caesar and we meet on Thursday, January 20 at 8 p.m. Julius Caesar is one of three Roman plays that can be read together and highlights the problem of the great man and his relation to the republican form of government, as well as Rome's relation to its expanding empire. Shakespeare was fascinated by Rome and republics and contrary to what many commentators say, he understood its workings and political tensions intimately.

Coming plays: Measure For Measure (Thursday, February 17), The Tempest (Thursday, March 17) and Henry IV Part I (Thursday, April 7).

Free text at www.opensourceshakespeare.org. Arden, Signet, and Oxford editions of Shakespeare are also good. For Julius Caesar, there’s an annotated edition by Jan H. Blits (Hackett, 2018) with useful notes.

Videos: Humber College Library has all of the BBC (early 1980’s) videos available which can be watched online.

RSVP: Kirk Rintoul, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Business at kirk.rintoul@humber.ca for the Zoom link.

Limited to 15 confirmed attendees (waitlist if necessary).
