This term’s final seminar will take place this Wednesday 11 March, at 5.15 in the English Faculty Board Room, when Professor A. C. Spearing will give a paper entitled ‘What is a Narrator?’.

Tony Spearing’s many critical books and essays have been immensely influential.  His /Medieval Dream-Poetry/ (1976) defined a field and still shapes it.   More recently, in his books /Textual Subjectivity/ (2005) and /Medieval Autographies/ (2012) he has become particularly
interested in narrative theory and the medieval ‘I’.

Our speaker will be arriving at about 5.00 if you would like to meet him beforehand (biscuits provided – please bring your own tea!), and there will be the usual opportunity afterwards to pursue conversations with the speaker over dinner.  Please come if you can.
