What Shakespeare's Heroes Learn
DAVID BROMWICH

The 12th Annual Irving Howe Memorial Lecture

Tuesday November 11th, 2008 6:30 pm, The Elebash Recital Hall

Is there a "tragic knowledge" that Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth acquire as their stories close? David Bromwich discusses the final scenes of some of Shakespeare's tragedies, and the possible relations between dramatic recognition, self-knowledge, and self-deception. David Bromwich is Sterling Professor of English at Yale University, and the author of notable books on Wordsworth, Hazlitt, and modern poetry. His reviews and essays have appeared in Dissent, The New Republic, The Nation, and The New York Review of Books.
