Greymalkin and Other Shakespearean Celts
- Synopsis
- Podcast. Shakespeare’s Birthday Lecture delivered at the Folger Shakespeare Library, Elizabethan Theatre by Andrew Hadfield. Graymalkinis not only a witch’s familiar, argues Hadfield. She may also be Irish. Beginning with the back story of the cat Graymalkin, Hadfield traces images of Ireland and the Irish in many of Shakespeare’s plays, and in the sources upon which he drew. From the anatomically candid side of The Comedy of Errors to the tragic politics of Richard II, Ireland casts a long and changing shadow throughout Shakespeare’s work.
