Lincoln, Neb., March 20, 2003--Guy Reynolds, senior lecturer at the University of Kent in England, will be the featured speaker March 25 at the Plains Humanities Alliance's fourth seminar on Research and Region.
The seminar, "The Politics of Cather's Regionalism: Margins, Centers and the Nebraska Commonwealth," is free and open to the public and will begin at 3:30 p.m. at the Great Plains Art Collection in the Christlieb Gallery, 1155 Q St. A reception will follow.
Reynolds is the author of "Willa Cather in Context" (1996) and "Twentieth-Century American Women's Fiction" (1999). His interests are across a broad range of American literary studies, but focus in particular on interdisciplinary readings of literature within a historical context. He continues to work on Willa Cather (and is editing a collection of critical assessments of her work), and has also written recently on American literary nationalism as well as American representations of Europe, especially Spain.
The Research and Region seminars are an outlet for scholars to present their research about the Great Plains and other plains regions with faculty, graduate students and the interested public. The seminar meets several times a semester, and future seminars will also include guest scholars from other institutions. Those who would like to present research in progress, including graduate students with dissertation proposals, are welcome to submit. Forward proposals to John Wunder, Plains Humanities Alliance, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 1221 Seaton Hall, Lincoln, NE, 68588-0692.
The presenters' paper abstracts are available for review before the
seminar. Call Deborah Eisloeffel, Plains Humanities Alliance, (402)
