Ramie Targoff with Regina Marler: Shakespeare's Sisters
Sat, Nov 9 from 4pm - 5pm
Ramie Targoff, Professor of Humanities at Brandeis University, presents her ground-breaking book, Shakespeare's Sisters. This illuminating work uncovers and celebrates the overlooked lives and contributions of women writers in Shakespeare’s era, offering fresh insights into their impact on literature and the challenges they faced and surmounted. Taking her cue from Virginia Woolf’s famous essay, A Room of One’s Own, Targoff refutes Woolf’s argument that the voice of Shakespeare’s mythical sister would have been suppressed. Ramie will be in conversation with Regina Marler, the editor of the Letters of Vanessa Bell (Virginia Woolf's sister).
