Abstract
This panel discussion on King Lear and fathering was held on November 9, 1996, at the College of St. Benedict. The panel was part of a yearly Men's Series established at St. John's University (Collegeville, Minnesota) in 1995; the 1996 series focused on Men's Voices/Men's Lives. Six fathers (two of whom were unable to attend at the last minute) were invited to view a campus production of William Shakespeare's King Lear and then to discuss their responses to the play. The discussion thus explores issues of fathering in theoretical, personal, and experiential ways.
