This document outlines a series of ten lectures organized by the Literary School in Chicago during the 1889 holiday season. The program features prominent speakers of the era, including Denton Jaques Snider, Thomas Davidson, and William Torrey Harris, discussing various aspects of Shakespearean drama and its relationship to other classical works like Job, Prometheus, and Antigone.
The lectures were held at the Lecture Hall of the Art Institute and were sponsored by The Kindergarten Club, reflecting the late 19th-century interest in adult education and literary analysis within the kindergarten movement's intellectual circles.
