Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to welcome you all to the next Western Mediterranean Workshop talk of the year.
On Thursday November 10 and Friday November 11, Leonard Barkan (Class of 1943 Professor and Chair of the Department of Comparative Literature, Princeton University) will be coming to campus to give both a lecture and moderate a workshop.
On November 10 at 4:30 PM in the Social Sciences Tea Room, Prof. Barkan will present and discuss the following lecture: Michelangelo: Scribbles, Doodles, Poetry.”
On November 11 at 1 PM in Rosenwald 405: Prof Barkan will present and discuss selections from his upcoming book: Unswept Floor: Food Culture and High Culture, Antiquity and Renaissance.
Please note the unusual day of the week and the unusual locations.
This workshop is made possible through the generous collaboration of the Renaissance Workshop, Poetry and Poetics Workshop, Rhetoric and Poetics Workshop, The Nicholson Center for British Studies and the History and Forms of Lyric Lecture Series.
There is no precirculated paper for the lecture. However, for the workshop, there are two documents which should be consulted before attending the talks:
A copy of Prof. Barkan’s Workshop paper which can be found here.
A copy of his Powerpoint presentation which can be found here.
Looking forward to seeing you at the meeting!
Best Regards,
James Nemiroff
