Stephen Wittek speaks at Aoyama Gakuin University, Tokyo, on his book, 'The Cultural Politics of
Conversion in Early Modern
England' on Tuesday, June 6th, 2023. Wittek’s work lies at the intersection between
early modern drama, cultural studies, and digital
humanities. His most recent book is a close examination of Shakespeare’s engagement
with the flurry of controversy and activity surrounding the
concept of conversion in post-Reformation England.
He is also the author of 'The Media
Players: Shakespeare, Middleton,
Jonson, and the Idea of News
' and co-editor of two
collections: 'Performing Conversion: Cities, Theatre and
Early Modern Transformations' and 'Shakespeare and Virtual Reality'.
