Thank you to Emma Smith for returning to introduce to Timon of Athens.
Emma Smith is Professor of Shakespeare Studies at the University of Oxford. Her podcast lectures “Approaching Shakespeare”—including on All’s Well that Ends Well—are available at podcasts.ox.ac.uk. Her most recent book is This Is Shakespeare, now out in the U.S. and in paperback in the U.K.
Many thanks to my friend Joey Bianco of Whim Wham for the animated video elements.
Thank you so much for the absolutely fascinating introduction!
