Jean Howard (George Delacorto Professor in the Humanities, Department of English & Comparative Literature, Columbia University) leads a graduate student workshop on post-New Historicist critical approaches. Is historicism dead? What are some viable critical alternatives to New Historicism? Our discussion will be informed by questions raised in a pre-circulated paper by Professor Howard.
This event is part of the Graduate Student Workshop series and is open to graduate students only. Students from all departments are encouraged to attend. Papers will be pre-circulated, with hard copies available in the English graduate student lounge (3rd Floor, Angell Hall) in a file cabinet marked "Early Modern Colloquium."
