In this episode, Josh Bowman interviews Dr. Sean Keilen, Professor of Literature at UC Santa Cruz and the founder of Shakespeare Workshop. Professor Keilen is the Head of Dramaturgy at Santa Cruz Shakespeare as well, and his most recent book is Shakespeare’s Scholars: Three Lessons from the Liberal Arts, published by Princeton University Press. We focus on that particular work, as well as Shakespeare’s plays, Love’s Labors Lost and The Tempest. We also talk about the liberal arts, the study of literature, and the life of scholars generally.
