Dear LAH community,

As previously announced, this year’s HRC’s prestigious Pforzheimer Lecture, an annual event focused on book history, is co-sponsored by the English Department’s TILTS institute.  This Thursday evening’s Pforzheimer Lecture thus bookends “The Fate of the Book” series begun last fall with opening speaker Nicholson Baker.  This closing lecture will be given by Michael Suarez, director of the Rare Book School at UVA.  As you can see from the title of his talk below, Suarez has generously taken on board this year’s TILTS rubrics.

There will also be a smaller breakout session with Suarez the following morning, hosted by Professor Michael Winship.  That, too, is open to the public (you can RSVP on the TILTS website).

For more info, see:

Please join us for the formal close to what has been an exciting set of year-long conversations!  Oh, and the food has been rather yummy too.

Sincerely,

Janine Barchas and Liz Scala (your TILTS co-directors 2012-13)
