Volume co-edited by Dan O'Hara wins prestigious 2006 Truman Capote Award for Literary Criticism News: Laura McGrane on Feb. 28th

Laura McGrane on “Bewitching Politics,” Feb. 28th at 4 pm, Anderson 1123

English Department Spring Lecture Series Presents Professor Laura McGrane Haverford College Wednesday, February 28th Anderson 1123 4:00 p.m. Bewitching Politics: Performing Mother Shipton in Eighteenth-Century Print Culture A metaphoric voice given material form, the figure of Mother Shipton engages a genealogy of the oracular stretching back to Classical Greece and forward into 18th century publications. This talk explores the (after)effects of vatic echoes on eighteenth-century audiences and readers in the form of plays, pantomimes and pamphlets. Through a range of verbal utterances and physical acts, Mother Shipton is invoked to trouble the relationship between print culture and orality, and politics and leisure, in London popular culture.
