Shakespeare’s Jerusalem
Hosted By: London School of Jewish Studies (LSJS)
The London School of Jewish Studies hosts a keynote lecture by Visiting Scholar Dr. Shaina Trapedo of Yeshiva University exploring how early modern English writers, thinkers, and theologians imagined Jerusalem. From sermons and pamphlets to Shakespearean drama, the Roman siege of 70 C.E. became a powerful symbol in 16th- and 17th-century English culture. Dr. Trapedo examines how Jerusalem shaped English identity, inspired religious reform, and reflected imperial ambitions.
