Art, Religion, and Death: A Quick Visual History of Shakespeare's Life was originally made for a presentation in a graduate seminar at the University of Minnesota. It functioned to put William Shakespeare's writing into a historical context while hopefully spicing up a traditionally mind-numbing endeavor, the "graduate seminar lead-off presentation." Ms. Wright originally created the booklet while at her office job taking advantage of the office photo copier. Eventually, at the behest of her office colleagues, the booklet graduated into a teeny art book.
