Lemay delivers Alison Inaugural Lecture May 19

J.A. Leo Lemay, H.F. duPont Winterthur Professor of English Literature

4:17 p.m., May 18, 2004--J.A. Leo Lemay, H.F. duPont Winterthur Professor of English Literature, will present the Francis Alison Inaugural Lecture at 4:30 p.m., Wednesday, May 19, in 104 Gore Hall. The lecture is titled “Visceral/Cerebral: Franklin and the British Empire, 1751.”

A member of the UD faculty since 1977, Lemay received the University’s highest faculty honor, the 2003 Francis Alison Faculty Award.

Lemay’s “Benjamin Franklin: Writings” has been called the most complete one-volume collection of Franklin works ever published. The University of Pennsylvania Press will publish the first two volumes of Lemay’s seven-volume biography of Franklin later this year, and the Modern Language Association has predicted it will become the definitive Franklin biography.
