Join Stephen Greenblatt, Pulitzer Prize–winning author and Harvard’s Cogan University Professor of the Humanities, for a special evening of conversation with writer, naturalist, teacher, and falconer Henry Walters.

Together they will discuss Greenblatt’s newest book, Dark Renaissance: The Dangerous Times and Fatal Genius of Shakespeare’s Greatest Rival, and reflect on the life, work, and enduring legacy of Christopher Marlowe.

Greenblatt is the author of fifteen books, including The Swerve: How the World Became Modern (winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award), the New York Times bestseller Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare, and the seminal study Renaissance Self-Fashioning. His work has shaped the way we understand the Renaissance and its continuing influence on the modern world.
