ALT 26th October, 18:00–19:30 | Gollancz Lecture, Ian Smith, ‘History’s Hollow Men: Manufacturing Blackness in Love’s Labour’s Lost’ Anatomy Museum Lecture Theatre, King’s College London, Strand Campus For modern audiences and readers, ‘blackface’ conjures up images we have come to associate mostly with nineteenth-century American blackface minstrelsy.
