Clive Sinclair will speak on English attitudes to Venice, discussing Dreamers of the Ghetto- the stories of Israel Zangwill (1898) – as well as Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice.

This talk will take place in Murray Baumgarten’s class “Jewish Writers and the European City.” It is open to the public and will be followed by a discussion.
