Featured Speakers
Nigel Smith Award-winning author of numerous works including Andrew Marvell: The Chameleon (Yale 2012), Is Milton Better than Shakespeare? (Harvard 2008), and Literature and Revolution in England, 1640-1660 (Yale 1994), Dr. Smith is the Co-Director of the Center for the Study of Books and Media and Professor of English at Princeton University. His research interests include the social role of literature, early modern poetry, poetic history, censorship and the history of linguistic ideas. Currently, Dr. Smith is a long term fellow at the Folger Shakespeare Library for his developing project Polyglot Poetics: Transnational Early Modern Literature. Examining texts from western, central, and southern Europe, Dr. Smith explores how authors experienced texts written in the vernacular foreign tongue. This project also studies the transfer of literature during war, performance and political unrest.
