DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n     Joshua Kotin\, director of the Shakespeare an
 d Company Project\, and Keri Walsh\, editor of "The Letters of Sylvia Beac
 h\," discuss the Lost Generation and the books they loved.  The Shakespea
 re and Company Project is a digital humanities initiative that brings the 
 world of Shakespeare and Company to life.  From the website: In 1919\, an 
 American named Sylvia Beach opened Shakespeare and Company\, an English-la
 nguage bookshop and lending library in Paris. Almost immediately\, it beca
 me the home away from home for a community of expatriate writers and artis
 ts now known as the Lost Generation. In 1922\, she published James Joyce
 ’s "Ulysses" under the Shakespeare and Company imprint\, a feat that mad
 e her — and her bookshop and lending library — famous around the world
 . In the 1930s\, she catered increasingly to French intellectuals\, supply
 ing English-language books and magazines from the recently rediscovered "M
 oby-Dick" to the latest issues of The New Yorker. In 1941\, she preemptiv
 ely closed Shakespeare and Company after refusing to sell her last copy of
  Joyce's "Finnegans Wake" to a Nazi officer.  Presented in partnership wit
 h the Princeton Public Library and the Historical Society of Princeton.  R
