- Richard Wilson opens the conference Frances Yates: The Art of Memory with his talk on Yates and Shakepeare. He ventures from the youth of Frances Yates during the first World War as a daughter of a naval architect to the esoteric links to Walter Benjamin via Gerschom Scholem linking these events to Yates’ reading of Shakespeare. Wilson gives an engaging account on how to read Shakespeare through Yates.
Richard Wilson is Sir Peter Hall Professor of Shakespeare Studies at Kingston University, London, and author of Wordly Shakespeare: The Theatre of Our Good Will (2016); Free Will: Art and power on Shakespeare’s stage (2013); Shakespeare in French Theory: King of Shadows (2007); Secret Shakespeare: Essays on theatre, religion and resistance (2004); and Will Power: Studies in Shakespearean authority (1993). His forthcoming book is a study of Shakespeare and the dictators: Modern Friends: Shakespeare’s Fellow Travellers.
