About Me

My name is Dakin Hewlett and I am a senior at West Chester University. I am from Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania and went to Abington Heights High School. I have two older brothers, Dane and Devin, and a cat named, Edgar.

In my free time I like to play sports, read, cook, and travel. I've been to Panama and Costa Rica twice to live with the Embera Indians in the Panamanian rainforest. I also studied abroad for my junior year of college at Westminster University in London, England.

In this blog I will explore Art, Literature, and Culture in Elizabethan England. I decided on this topic because ever since I was a youngin' I was mildly obsessed with Queen Elizabeth I and the whole time period in general. For that reason I chose to study abroad in London and had the opportunity to learn first-hand about Elizabethan history and culture. I plan to take a fresh approach to the various topics, incorporating modern ideas, and generating edgier dialogue at least once a week.

Hope you enjoy!
