The Great Books can be profoundly beneficial if one knows how to mine their riches. In this session of the Great Books Symposium, Gutenberg tutor Dr. Eliot Grasso will offer a seminar on how to lead a discussion on Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The seminar will discuss the content of the work while developing discussion-leading tools to help students get the most out of this timeless work.
The Great Books Symposium is designed to engage mature learners in deep dialogue about the influential works of Western civilization.
When you register, you will receive the Zoom link for the class. Please make sure you have a personal copy of the text on hand for the discussion.
