Byron scholar Carl Woodring to give lecture Oct. 3

Lord Byron
2:19 p.m., Sept. 17, 2003--Carl Woodring, noted scholar and author of several critical texts on Romantic literature, will visit UD on Oct. 3 to deliver the fourth annual Leslie A. Marchand Lecture.

The lecture, “Three Byronic Heroes: Leslie Marchand, Don Juan and Don Quixote,” is set for 4 p.m. in 127 Memorial Hall and will be followed by a reception in the Byron Lounge in Memorial Hall from 5:15 to 7 p.m.

Woodring, who is Woodberry Professor Emeritus of Literature at Columbia University, was born in Texas in 1919 and served as a minesweeper in the Navy during World War II. Before taking his post at Columbia University, he taught in several public schools and private universities, including Rice University and Harvard University. He is the author of several noted books, articles and reviews on Romantic literature. He is the coeditor of “The Columbia Anthology of British Poetry.”

The free public lecture is sponsored by the Board of Directors of the Byron Society of America and UD’s Department of English. Reservations are requested by Sept. 29 and can be made by calling 831-3654, or by e-mailing Charles Robinson at [robinson@udel.edu].

UD is home to the Byron Society of America Collection, which includes more than 2,000 volumes, 400 pamphlets and 66 objects relating to the famous aristocratic 19th-century Romantic poet George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788-1824).
