Join us for a talk by national bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize winner Prof. Stephan Greenblatt. Prof. Greenblatt is Cogan University Professor of the Humanities at Harvard University. His research focuses on Shakespeare and Renaissance literature. He is interested in the social and historical embeddedness of cultural life and is best known for a critical practice known as new historicism.

We are excited to hear from Prof. Greenblatt speak about topics of interest – especially the relation between literature and history – including most notably his newest book, Dark Renaissance: The Dangerous Times and Fatal Genius of Shakespeare's Greatest Rival. The title of Prof. Greenblatt’s talk is “Dancing with the Devil.”
