Astrology in Shakespeare’s England

 

What exactly is astrology and how prevalent was it in Renaissance England?

The dangers of providing horoscopes for monarchs?

Can the constellations and planets help choose a propitious moment, for opening the Globe Theatre to the Coronation of Elizabeth I?

How did astrology influence medicine?

Who were the eminent Tudor astrologers?

Ask the astrologer! How a Tudor astrologer might prognosticate on a 21st century problem.

Speaker

Kris Lee has an MA in Shakespeare Studies and many years interest in the history of astrology. His dissertation Heavenly Stratagems looked at the astrological themes than run through Romeo and Juliet and Julius Caesar, and supported the idea that astrology was used to help choose the opening date of the Globe Theatre.
