Love in the Time of Plague Pandemic: Musings on a stanza from Shakespeare’s Venus and Adonis

Résumé

“What did you do over the lockdown period?” The question gets asked and is likely to get asked again over the coming months, with the ups and downs of a dragging sanitary crisis affecting us all. Some panic at the thought of having under-achieved during this period, others overdid it out of the same sense of panic or simply to keep their minds focused on something positive. Across academia, we generally struggled with teaching and research duties, adjusting to new circumstances on a trial-and-error basis. In the process, many of us in humanities departments looked with a fresh eye at authors from the past on whom we have been working for so long, feeling a sense of empathy we had never experienced before, wondering: How did they cope with times of pandemic? How much do their writings owe to lockdowns?
