SUMMARY:Lincoln and Shakespeare
DESCRIPTION:From a young age Abraham Lincoln was a voracious reader\, especially of the writings of William Shakespeare. He was known to carry a worn-out pocket-sized copy of Macbeth while law circuit riding and later campaigning. Why was Lincoln so interested in Macbeth\, a play about tyranny? Join us as we consider Shakespeare passages\, writings of Lincoln\, and other documents to see what they can teach us about the threat tyranny poses to selfgovernment. \nThis program will be conducted as a discussion\, utilizing primary source documents as the only readings\, and with Professor Tucker facilitating the conversation\, instead of lecturing or presenting. Registrants\, therefore\, are highly encouraged to read all the documents in advance and come ready with questions. Teachers will receive a Letter of Attendance at the conclusion of the seminar.
