SAVE THE DATE! On Thursday, March 1st 4:15-5:45 pm in Business 301, we'll gather to discuss new work by Jonathan Baldo (Eastman School of Music, Humanities Department) and Christopher Matusiak (Ithaca College, English). Chris and Jonathan will circulate papers ahead of the event, sharing their current work on Stuart theater history (Chris) and memory and forgetting in Shakespeare's works (Jonathan).
Join us for a lively conversation and light refreshments!
Christopher Matusiak is an Associate Professor of English at Ithaca College in New York where he teaches courses on Shakespeare and early modern drama. His research on theatrical management in Drury Lane has appeared in Early Theatre and Medieval and Renaissance Drama in England, and he recently edited Robert Greene’s Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay for the Queen’s Men Editions series. He is currently at work on two books, one (with Eva Griffith) on Christopher Beeston and the Cockpit playhouse, and another exploring the persistence of illegal theatrical performance in London during the English Civil Wars. He will share a paper titled "'Where the birds of Mars were wont to fight”: Drury Lane at War, 1642-49."
Jonathan Baldo is a Professor of English at the Eastman School of Music. His research and teaching center on Shakespeare, early modern culture, and the ways that works of art negotiate conflicting cultural memories and in the partnership of remembering and forgetting in our constructions of the past. Aided by a Senior Research Fellowship from the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), he recently completed Memory in Shakespeare’s Histories: Stages of Forgetting in Early Modern England (2012), published by Routledge in its Studies in Shakespeare Series. He currently holds a Bridging Fellowship to the University of Rochester Humanities Center, and will be sharing a paper titled "'If a lie may do thee grace': Shifts of Memory in Shakespeare's Second Tetralogy."
