LAWRENCE — In an age where reduce, reuse, recycle is a popular mantra, Shakespeare is the man. The Bard wasn’t shy about borrowing ideas and situations and coming up with something innovative and inspired. Two internationally-recognized Shakespeare scholars will come to Kansas University this month to take part in a panel discussion entitled “Shakespeare the Recycler.” Gordon McMullan is a KU graduate and now professor of English at King’s College London. Michael Neill is professor of early modern studies at the University of Kent in England. He is also father of KU English professor and chair Anna Neill. Shakespeare scholar and KU English professor Jonathan Lamb said Shakespeare shows how writers past and present can take old ideas and create new works that are at once innovative and familiar. The panel, will be 3:30-5 p.m. Tuesday, April 15, at the Hall Center for the Humanities. It’s open to the public. Please RSVP by Wednesday by e-mail to to [email protected] or call 785-864-4798.
Tuesday, April 8, 4 p.m.
