Shakespeare AND Spenser@Random

Co-sponsored by SAA and the International Spenser Society

Let’s kick off 2025 with a double helping of literary good times.

SAA and the International Spenser Society are please to kick off 2025 with a special, co-sponsored edition of ISS’s Spenser@Random. We are teaming up for a joint Spenser AND Shakespeare@Random on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, at 12pm EST/5pm GMT. Join us on Zoom as we ask the CyberFates to select for us one of Spenser’s Amoretti sonnets and one of Shakespeare’s sonnets. Then we will close read these two in randomly selected Zoom break-out rooms, reveling in the stochasticity of literary adventure. Don’t miss collegial company and jovial close reading with not just one but TWO literary societies’ genial members. As always, this is free and everyone is welcome, so invite your friends, colleagues, students, family, and companion animals to join us.
