2026 Alice Griffin Shakespeare Lecture
The quarto text of Merry Wives of Windsor has usually been viewed as a garbled or debased version of its folio counterpart. In this lecture, Dr Evelyn Tribble argues that the folio and the quarto share a common (now lost) origin, and that the folio represents a deliberate revision for a Jacobean court performance. Studying the two texts side by side provides a window into Shakespeare’s habits of revision.
Date and time: Wednesday 13 May, 6pm
Location: 401-401
