Ep 77: Irish Poetry Kills Rats with Kelly Fitzgerald
The same year Queen Elizabeth is sending Devereux to deal with Irish rebels, Shakespeare pens a seemingly nonsensical line in As You Like It about the death of Irish rats, who meet their demise from poetry. Dr. Kelly Fitzgerald is here to take us back to 1599 when As You Like It was written, to explain why the bard is writing about Irish Poetry's rat-killing features.
