Cymbeline Scholar Presents Talk on October 30
10-02-2008
The Medieval Research Cluster, the Departments of English and Theatre and Dance, and the Program in Religious Studies are delighted to present a talk by SARAH BECKWITH (Department of English, Duke University) entitled "Confession, Acknowledgment, Cymbeline: Shakespeare and the Grammar of Forgiveness." The talk will take place on Thursday, October 30, at 3:00 in Voorhies 126. Following the talk will be the MRC’s fall reception; all are welcome, and we very much hope to see you there.
Professor Beckwith will also conduct a seminar for graduate students at noon of that same day entitled “Confessing on Stage” in Voorhies 126. All graduate students are welcome, and lunch will be served; those interested in participating should RSVP as soon as possible to Keri Wolf (kawolf@ucdavis.edu) to receive the assigned readings and give us a head count for ordering lunch.
Sarah Beckwith works on late medieval religious writing. Professor Beckwith is particularly interested in middle English religious writing in its fully cultural dimensions and in the intersections of writing and religious practice. She is the author of Christ's Body: Identity, Religion and Society in Medieval English Writing (Routledge 1993) and Signifying God: Social Relation and Symbolic Act in York's Play of Corpus Christi (U Chicago 2001).
