In September 2023 Royal Museums Greenwich will be hosting a two-day hybrid conference on “Shakespeare and the Sea.” Friday, September 8-Saturday, September 9, 2023 Adult (In-Person) £120 | Student/Early Career Researcher (In-Person) £60 | Online £30 Keynote Speakers: Professor Steve Mentz (St. John’s University) and Professor Emma Smith (University of Oxford) Across Shakespeare’s plays, the sea’s agency can be felt shaping plots and characters’ lives. In addition, images of wild, deep, and boundless seas, even in landlocked plays, give expression to characters’ passions, suggest matters concealed from view, and provide a vocabulary for notions of transformation and sublimity. Over the past four centuries, Shakespeare’s seas have been staged in theatres across the world and have provided inspiration for artworks both textual and visual; and further, Shakespeare’s plays have themselves been taken to sea – read and performed aboard ships traversing the world’s oceans. The growth of the Blue Humanities as a critical field is drawing deeper and more meaningful connections between art and the oceans, attending to the ever-evolving ways in which humans perceive and interact with the maritime world and, in particular, illuminating our impact (and reliance) on the seven-tenths of the globe covered by water. Shakespeare’s plays are ripe for re-examination through a nautical lens, and most especially at the unique moment that marks 400 years since the publication of the First Folio. This conference will bring together two days of panels and keynotes. Lunch will be provided for in-person attendees. For those attending in-person, this is also an opportunity to discover the material culture of maritime history offered by the museum and even a chance to encounter the First Folio, a copy of which will be on display at the museum for part of this year. For full conference schedule and to book please visit the conference website.
Ryan Harris: “a leather book cover, beautifully embossed with pages inside ... feather quill pen still tucked inside the cover like a journal that you might write in and put on your bedside table.”
“...might have written materials inside.”
“It’s being analyzed in the lab now.”
"The leather folio was excavated bit by bit with a spoon..."
Presumably then, that rectangle beneath the spoon is the potential journal they found.
🚨New dive season details:
Leather folio with quill and pages inside found in steward's pantry.
Other paper fragment found as well.
Lens from someone's eyeglasses.
