10 for 10
edited by Kathleen Woodward (English), 2007
In 1997 Barclay and Sharon Simpson pledged to endow what was then the fledgling Center for the Humanities. Today the Walter Chapin Simpson Center for the Humanities is known across the country and in many places around the globe. The most important dimension of the Simpson Center is its decidedly public face. In this book ten people—national leaders in the humanities, faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and members of the larger public—provide their thoughts about the Simpson Center. Details |

Voice, Text, Hypertext: Emerging Practices in Textual Studies
edited by Raimonda Modiano (English), Leroy F. Searle (English), and Peter L. Shillingsburg (English, University of North Texas), 2003
For the authors of the essays in Voice, Text, Hypertext, a “text” is more than a document or material object. It is a cultural event, a matrix of decisions, an intricate cultural practice that may focus on religious traditions, modern “underground” literary movements, poetic invention, or the irreducible complexity of cultural politics. Drawing from classical Roman and Indian to modern European traditions, the volume makes clear that to study a text is to study a culture. Details |
