Talk: When Life is a Shipwreck: Key Passages in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night

Thursday, November 7, 4 p.m.

McCune Conference Room

Presented by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center

Julia Reinhard, UC Irvine English professor and Interim Director of the UC Humanities Research Institute, will examine key passages in Twelfth Night that show the navigation of life changes and social bodies throughout Shakespeare’s romantic comedy. The play begins with a shipwreck, a violent birth onto unknown shores that separates orphaned twins on a journey to nowhere.
