Emily Dickinson International Society
Annual Meeting
August 6 – 7

 

 

 

 

In collaboration with the Emily Dickinson Museum, the 2021 EDIS Annual Meeting will be held remotely on August 6+7, 2021. This year’s focus is Dickinson’s great love of Shakespeare with a variety of scholarly panels, lectures, and workshops.

Discuss aspects of Dickinson’s reading of or response to Shakespeare, and compare Dickinson’s and Shakespeare’s writings. Consider Shakespeare’s place in Dickinson’s society and literary culture and how Dickinson’s contemporaries engaged with Shakespeare.

Highlights include a keynote lecture by Adeline Chevrier-Bosseau, seminar-discussions led by Páraic Finnerty and Martha Nell Smith, Shakespeare readings, special Shakespeare-related tours of the Dickinson Museum and an exhibit of watercolors by Victoria Dickson. More details will be forthcoming in the next few weeks. Join the Emily Dickinson International Society for an opportunity to discuss the connections between these two extraordinary writers this summer!
