What makes Shakespeare global? What transcendent elements of human experience does he explore? This class will examine international adaptations of Shakespeare to analyze how his works are reimagined across cultures and languages, revealing both commonalities and differences. For instance, what happens when Buddhism intersects with Shakespeare in the Tibetan adaptation of Hamlet, The Prince of the Himalayas? How is nature portrayed in this film compared to Western interpretations? Building on the previous lecture, this session will further explore critical frameworks for understanding Shakespeare's global influence.

Time travel to the 18th century and experience a day in London through the words of Jonathan Swift ("Description of the Morning" and "Description of a City Shower") and the engravings of William Hogarth ("Four Times of the Day"). No doubt you will be happy to return to 21st-century convenience (not to mention hygiene) but you will also see why Swift and Hogarth's contemporary Samuel Johnson would say: "He who is tired of London is tired of life!" It was (and remains) a vibrant, varied place!

Jewish pharmacist Joseph Jacobs is familiar to Georgians as the owner of the drugstore at which Coca-Cola was invented. He is also the founder of the Burns Club of Atlanta. A major collector of Burnsiana (he had a library of 794 volumes of Burns material), Jacobs began the club in 1896 - and it still meets today in a replica of Burns's birthplace in Atlanta (a building Jacobs funded in 1911). This class will provide some of the history of the club and ponder the significance of Robert Burns not only to Jacobs but also to Atlanta and the South in general.
