Feb. 8, 2018:  “Women Obstinate in Mischief”: Commonplacing Femininity in the Shakespeare First Folio.  Join us for an examination of the marginalia in the most extensively annotated extant copy of the Shakespeare First Folio. Nearly every page of this volume, from the opening scene of The Tempest to the conclusion of Cymbeline, contains underlining, dots, slashes, and notes most likely made by a Scottish reader in the 1620s or 1630s. Alan Farmer suggests that the reader’s misogynistic marginalia and misreading of Merry Wives provide us with an insight into different, and more disturbing ways that Shakespeare was read, interpreted, and appreciated as literature in the seventeenth century. Alan B. Farmer is Associate Professor of English at the OSU. He has published widely on Renaissance drama and the book trade in early modern London.

Please join us at 7 PM to share your latest bibliophilic adventure, the presentation begins at 730 PM at The Thurber Center, 91 Jefferson Ave., Columbus.

A pdf flyer is attached.
