Time:2:45-4 p.m.
Description:The British Studies Department presents "Shakespeare and Home Front During World War II," an illustrated talk examining British Shakespearean actor Donald Wolfit's wartime King Lear, widely acknowledged as his crowning achievement.

By drawing on the Wolfit archive at the Harry Ransom Center, this presentation shows how Wolfit's Lear deliberately evoked Winston Churchill's view that Britain should look to its illustrious past as a way of coping with the present.

Presented by Laurence Raw, Department of English, Baskent University, Ankara, Turkey.
Location:Harry Ransom Center (HRC) Tom Lea Rooms, 3.206
