Writer Who Seeks to Internationalize Study of American Writing to Speak
01:43PM / Tuesday, February 03, 2009
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - The Novel in the World Series will feature author Wai Chee Dimock on Tuesday, Feb. 10, at 4 p.m. on "Three Wars: Henry James and Others." The public is invited and the lecture is free. It will be held in Griffin Hall, room 3.
Dimock, the William Lampson Professor of English and American Studies at Yale University, experiments with close readings across different widths of space and across a range of time-scales.
She is the author of "Residues of Justice: Literature, Law, Philosophy" (1996), "Through Other Continents: American Literature Across Deep Time" (2006) and "Shades of the Planet: American Literature as World Literature" (2007).
"Through Other Continents" was awarded Honorable Mention for both the James Russell Lowell Prize of the Modern Language Association and the Harry Levin Prize of the American Comparative Literature Association. The book "makes good on Dimock's proposal for a more imaginative and more capacious reading of not only American literature, but literature in general," says David Palumbo-Liu of Stanford University.
Dimock received her B.A. from Harvard University in 1976 and her Ph.D. at Yale University in 1982.
