- **Event Description**: The authenticity of grief: attitudes towards life and death in Shakespearian EnglandAbout this Eventin collaboration with the Oxford Preservation TrustAn experience which connects human stories across time. Experiences of grief and loss are recorded in only the starkest, most simple terms in the historic archives which survive. Maggie O’Farrell’s recent novel, Hamnet, and the film adaptation directed by Chloe Zhao, enter this emotional space, and fill it with a wrenching portrayal of grief and its impact on a family. Today’s conversation, between a literary scholar and a historian, will discuss the ways in which this fictional representation retells the story of the loss of William Shakespeare’s only son, and how reinvention and imagination can enhance our understanding of how historical people lived, felt, and remembered those closest to them.Dr Janet Dickinson is Departmental Lecturer (History) at Oxford University’s department for Lifelong Learning and Lecturer at New York University in London.
