Early Modern literature

An exhibition at the Cervantes Institute from November 15 to 30 sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of Salvador Dali's work, illustration, which he first took an interest in in 1916, when his sister became ill and the budding artist drew pictures to accompany stories for her. He went on to produce illustrations for 79 books, and also worked with magazines and other publications.

The pages of the only surviving manuscript to contain Shakespeare’s handwriting are to be digitised by the British Library giving the chance to the public to see an impassioned speech in defence of refugees in London.
