John Dee, Part I: John Dee Through His Dreams

An Illustrated Lecture with Doug Skinner

Date: Tuesday, November 18
Time: 8pm
Admission: $12
Place: Morbid Anatomy Museum, 424 Third Avenue, Brooklyn.
This lecture is presented by Shannon Taggart, Programmer in Residence of the Morbid Anatomy Museum.

In the first of this two evening series, Doug Skinner discusses the life and work of the extraordinary Elizabethan polymath John Dee: sorcerer, astronomer, astrologer, alchemist, mathematician, antiquarian, imperial apologist, bibliophile, historian, and adviser to the queen. Such a life defies chronology, so his many interconnected activities are approached through the dreams that he noted in his household diary. Each glimpse into Dee’s psyche reveals another facet of his unique career.

Part 2: Thursday, November 20: Sex and Spirits: The Dee / Kelley Plural Marriage – An Illustrated Presentation with Don Jolly.
