Hands-On Tour

Besotted: Wine and Words

Sunday, April 29, 2012 - 3:00pm - 4:00pm

Yes, besotted can mean ‘drunk,’ but it’s also a feeling of infatuation and fascination. On this tour we’ll handle intoxicating artifacts and rare books that chronicle the history of wine and explore its role within literature. We’ll explore Shakespeare’s sherry from Henry IV, Leopold Bloom’s burgundy in Ulysses, a wine-stained Passover Haggadah, and George Cruikshank’s anti-alcohol prints.
