After the Humanities
The Marc and Constance Jacobson Lecture
In "After the Humanities," cultural critic, author, and Harvard Professor Marjorie Garber looks at the present and the future of the humanities.
Marjorie Garber has published fifteen books and has edited seven collections of essays. The scope of her work is both broad and deep–her topics range from animal studies to literary theory, but her work has mostly been centered on Shakespeare. Garber has written five widely admired books on the playwright, including her most recent, Shakespeare and Modern Culture (Pantheon, 2008)and Profiling Shakespeare (Routledge, 2008.
Described by Jonathan Culler as “consistently our shrewdest and most entertaining cultural critic,” and by Catherine R. Stimpson, as “the liveliest, wittiest, and most scintillating of writers about culture,” Garber has also published a number of works of cultural criticism and theory.
