Shakespeare's Peers

Sunday, January 26, 2025 from 3 PM to 4:30 PM
Mission Valley Branch Library
All Ages
Free

The man with the funny haircut seems to take up most of the oxygen in the Elizabethan room, but what about other playwrights of the period? What about Thomas Kyd and his Spanish Tragedy? What about Kit Marlowe and his Tamburlaine? Or Ben Jonson, Will’s supposed pal? And the others? Kim Keeline will provide a survey of these contemporaries and consider any of their influence on the familiar canon.

Kim Keeline has a Ph.D. in English Literature from the University of Southern California. She has taught multiple courses at USC, as well as at Southwestern College, MiraCosta College, and Central Texas College. She has been a frequent speaker at academic conferences and has received several prestigious awards for her work.

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.
