The Library is currently hosting a new traveling exhibit from the National Library of Medicine, “And there’s the humor of it”: Shakespeare and the four humors, on display until May 13, 2016. The exhibit explores the role played in a person’s physical and mental health by the four humors – blood, bile, melancholy, and phlegm - in several of Shakespeare’s most beloved plays and examines more modern interpretations of the four humors in contemporary medicine.
To celebrate the opening of the exhibit, the Library hosted a celebration on Thursday, April 7, where students were able to view the exhibit and join the librarians for refreshments and conversation about the exhibit.
This year marks the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s birth and death on April 23rd. A number of events have been planned to celebrate his legacy. One of them, The Wonder of Will Live, hosted by the Folgers Shakespeare Library, includes an international live streaming event from the historic Paster Reading Room in Washington, DC. A diverse array of actors, community leaders, artists, and scholars will share their connections to Shakespeare through compelling performances and personal stories.
Here are some fun ways to join the celebration using your mobile device:
