Dr. Deborah Burks,
associate professor of Renaissance literature at Ohio State
University, will give the third
Margaret Syers Lecture at Schreiner
University, at 7 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 25, in the Floyd &
Kathleen Cailloux Campus Activity Center. The talk, sponsored by
Schreiner’s Center for Innovative Learning, is free and open to
the public.
Dr. Burks will speak on “Lifting the Painted Cloth: Spying and
Surveillance in Shakespeare's London.”
Dr. Burks’ book, “Horrid Spectacle: Violation in the Theater of
Early Modern England,” was published by Duquesne University Press.
She is working on another book-length study, “On Watch: Women and
the Cultures of Surveillance in Early Modern England.” The Margaret
Syers Lecture Series was endowed by Susan Stark and William Syers,
children of longtime Kerrville educator, Margaret Syers, who passed
away in 2005. Syers was an English teacher in Kerrville for many
years. Her children established the endowment in order to bring to
Schreiner outstanding speakers on topics of literary interest for
the benefit of the campus and the community. |
