Bernard Shaw on his 150th Birthday – Commencement Forum
|
Saturday, May 27, 2006, 10:30 a.m.
Lownes Room, John Hay Library,
Prof. Emeritus, Don B. Wilmeth, Dept. of Theatre, Speech & Dance
A brief glance at the life, unique persona, politics, and writings of this prolific Irish writer and idea monger, examined in the context of his time and ours. Is Mr. Shaw still relevant? Or has he become an anachronism, no longer speaking to us?
The presentation will correspond to an exhibit at the John Hay Library drawn from the Albert-Shaw Collection, and will serve as an overture to a major international Shaw conference at Brown a week from the forum. -
