George Herbert's Pastoral
Dates: Oct 4, 2007 - Oct 7, 2007
Hosted by: University of North Carolina at Greensboro and Sarum College
Poetry and Priesthood, Past and Future
From the conference website:
George Herbert died a disappointed courtier and diligent country parson in the tiny Wiltshire village of Bemerton in 1633. Yet he left behind him a small sheaf of poetry and prose manuscripts which made him, in death, one of the most popular writers of his age, a spiritual guide to millions since, and a poet's poet whose influence extends across the Atlantic and around the globe. In order to explore the connections between this priestly poet's Wiltshire world and his print and cultural legacies worldwide, Sarum College in Salisbury, Wiltshire, and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro are co-sponsoring two linked international and interdisciplinary conferences.
This first event features the following speakers:
- Helen Wilcox, University of Wales, Bangor
- Cristina Malcolmson, Bates College
- David Jasper, University of Glasgow
