Romances & Renaissance & Restoration, oh my! Broadly interested in exploring and discussing current topics in early literature. From dipping our toes into medieval matters to debating the effectiveness of Shakespeare in adaptation to discovering the gems of Restoration theater, we are interested in literature pre-1800.

Meeting Information
The Method & Madness Reading Group will typically host formal text study meetings during even numbered weeks, and we will devote the odd numbered weeks to meetings for independent scholarly pursuits. These meetings are designed to be low stress spaces to discuss literature and build community, and we would love to see you there!
The general theme for Spring Quarter is Cosmic Orders. Join us in considering how these early authors conceptualized non-earthly spaces!
