Shakespeare and the Essex Rebellion: A Discussion with Clare Asquith, the Countess of Oxford and Asquith

Join us as noted Shakespearean scholar Clare Asquith speaks about her latest book, Shakespeare and the Resistance. Lady Oxford focuses her research on Shakespeare’s narrative poems—”Venus and Adonis” and “The Rape of Lucrece”—as works that addressed the tyrannical power of the Cecils under Queen Elizabeth I and played an important role in the Essex Rebellion of 1601.

Some copies of her book will be available for sale.
