Hannah Arendt and Shakespeare
Event Information
Description
David Garrick built his Shakespeare Temple beside the Thames at Hampton
in 1755, as a place where ‘the thinkers of the world’ would meet to reflect
on the plays. He hoped Voltaire would come. Now the Kingston Shakespeare
Seminar is realising the great actor’s vision, with a series of symposia on
Shakespeare in Philosophy
Each of these Saturday events features talks by leading philosophers and
Shakespeare scholars, coffee and tea in the riverside garden designed by
Capability Brown, and lunch at the historic Bell Inn.
On Saturday September 7 2019 the Temple symposium will be on
