The English Department is pleased to announce that our 2017 Joseph M. Duffy Lecturer is Robert S. Levine, Distinguished University Professor of the University of Maryland. Robert S. Levine has been an influential force in American and African American literary studies for over thirty years, and more recently has contributed important work to the burgeoning field of hemispheric and transnational American literary studies. His prominent publications cover an array of themes critical to an understanding of 19th-century American literature.
All are welcome.
