THE BREARLEY SCHOOL
Brearley in finance.. Teachers know the power and pleasure of translating literature into another medium, whether a structural model of an act in King Lear, a mobile of the Ptolemaic Universe, a representation of Hell—in addition, of course, to the always magnetic effect of playing Shakespeare. One long-lived literary project has been the creation of a manuscript out of faux Middle English portraits that depict modern pilgrims on their way to a shrine—Congress, Earth Day, Mount Rushmore, a supermarket, the airport—inspired by the portraits. Since The Canterbury Tales became an XI elective at Brearley (in 2010–2011), the project has produced particularly spectacular results.
