A Harvard alumnus, Rhodes Scholar (St. John’s College, Oxford) and former Fellow of Brasenose College, Oxford and Selwyn College, Cambridge, Professor Culler has written widely influential and field-defining work in the areas of literary criticism and theory, including Structuralist Poetics (1975, winner of the James Russell Lowell Prize of the Modern Language Association of America, 1976), On Deconstruction (1982), Roland Barthes (1983), Framing the Sign (1988) and The Literary in Theory (2007). His lecture and seminar are based on his eagerly awaited forthcoming work on the theory of the lyric.
The lecture will be followed by a drinks reception.
Professor Culler’s visit is made possible in part by generous grants from CREMS, CECS and the Leavis Fund. Their support is hereby gratefully acknowledged.
