Now Thrive the Armorers
On November 15, at 3:00 p.m., at the Mission Valley Branch Library, Scott Farrell, program director of Chivalry Today and head instructor with the San Diego Longsword medieval fencing program, is scheduled to discuss the language, function, and artistry of knightly armor in Shakespeare’s world. From the glory of Henry V, to the supernatural apparitions of Hamlet, to the treachery of Macbeth, arms and armor appear over and over in Shakespeare’s works, and a thorough understanding of the “visual language” of medieval and Renaissance armor lends a much deeper, more nuanced understanding of many of his stories and characters.
