Hello all, and Happy New Year,

I hope this message finds you easing rather than bolting into the New Year!  A consummation devoutly . . .

At 5 pm, on Tuesday, February 4^th, 2014, in 301 Morgan Hall on the University of Alabama campus, Professor Jason Powell, of Saint Joseph’s University, will present a lecture entitled, “Rediscovering Thomas Wyatt: the Perils and Problems of a New Scholarly Edition.”

We will also be live video-streaming this talk at 5 pm Central via this link: http://meet23179793.adobeconnect.com/powell

Jason Powell is Assistant Professor of English and Co-Director of Medieval, Renaissance, and Reformation Studies at Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia. The first of two volumes in his edition of Thomas Wyatt’s complete works will be published by Oxford University Press in summer 2015. He is also contracted by Oxford to edit the poetry of Henry Howard, earl of Surrey. A recipient of one-year fellowships from the NEH and the Harrington Faculty Fellows Program at the University of Texas, he has recently co-edited Authority and Diplomacy from Dante to Shakespeare (Ashgate, 2013), with William T. Rossiter, and his essays have appeared in Huntington Library Quarterly, Sixteenth Century Journal, English Manuscript Studies and Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, among other venues.
