Prof. Nancy F. Regalado

Nancy Regalado (New York University) "Who Tells the Stories of Poetry? Villon and his Readers. Thursday, October 29 at 4:30pm at the University of Pittsburgh, 202 Frick Fine Arts.

This talk is drawn from Professor Regalado's current project on the question of why Villon's poetry produces stories. So much of fourteenth- and fifteenth-century poetry is interwoven with historical characters, including the poets themselves, and poets such as Froissart and Machaut often set their lyrics in a narrative. But only Villon's poetry (with all its proper names) makes the reader undertake the task of storytelling.
