National Epics
An event in honor of Professor David Wallace
What is the role of cultural and literary objects in the formation of nationhood? This is the subject of Professor David Wallace’s forthcoming volume (Oxford University Press), which features more than ninety contributors from around the world. Please join us for a lively discussion of the “national epic,” which will include short readings from a range of literatures that have come to represent national aspirations, identities, and struggles. Visit National Epics for more information about the book and a related collaborative digital project.
