We believe that to understand Shakespeare’s relevance today, we must understand the journey his texts have travelled through the years. Join us as we dive into the theaters, museums, and archives to discover that journey for ourselves. Feel free to contact me at ripegoodscholar@gmail.com

Welcome to episode 25 of Ripe Good Scholar: Jewish people in Elizabethan England
In this episode…
We will explore the history of the Jewish people in England and across Europe. In addition, we will look at the stereotypes believed by Elizabethans and how it may have influenced Shakespeare as he wrote The Merchant of Venice. Today, Shylock is often depicted as a sympathetic character. However, this was not necessarily the case in Elizabethan England.
