Professor Dubrow is a terrific writer who is retheorizing lyric in important ways, questioning such basic assumptions as its immediacy, its intimacy (vis. its presumed audience), the nature of its distinctiveness from narrative, and more.
We're very excited to have such a wonderful scholar as a visiting lecturer, and encourage all interested students and faculty to drop by.
