Attorney and amateur historian Gordon Gidlund will describe how Shakespeare was part of the cultural literacy of the country during the Civil War, both North and South, as shown by theatre attendance, allusions in political speeches and in soldiers' letters, and Lincoln's appreciation for the Bard, with the terrible irony being, of course, that he was killed by a noted Shakespearean actor.
This event will be taking place in the Mission Valley Library community room.
Mission Valley Branch Library
The Mission Valley Branch Library is one of the thirty-five branches of the San Diego Public Library system. The 19,760 sq. ft. facility was opened July 20, 2002. The Library received an Orchid Award from the San Diego Chapter of the American Institute of Architects for "Best Institutional Design" and "Best Divine Details" for the lighted tree columns/sculptures throughout the facility. The Library includes a large community meeting room, seminar rooms, a children's library, an outdoor patio with a children's garden which has a flowing river sculpture, a computer lab and a mezzanine and terrace. Its excellent collection of books and media, central location, and close proximity to retailers and a trolley stop have made it a popular Library destination for many San Diegans.
