Nigel Smith, the William and Annie S. Paton Foundation Professor of Ancient and Modern Literature and Co-Director of the Center for the Study of Books and Media at Princeton University, is an internationally renowned leader in the study of early modern literature, history, politics, and religion, and is widely regarded as the world’s expert on the life and works of Andrew Marvell. His definitive edition of Marvell’s complete poems (2003) was selected by the TLS as a “Book of the Year”, as was his more recent biography of Andrew Marvell, Andrew Marvell: The Chameleon (Yale UP, 2010).
Montclair State’s new interdisciplinary Medieval and Early Modern Studies Seminar, to be held monthly during the Fall and Spring semesters, aims to bring together all interested faculty and graduate students from across the university to hear and discuss new and ongoing research in the fields of medieval and early modern studies, across disciplines. All are warmly welcome.

Seminar Co-Conveners: Alison Beringer (Classics and General Humanities), Kathleen Loysen (Modern Languages), Jeffrey Miller (English), Megan Moran (History), and Adam Rzepka (English).
Funding for Nigel Smith’s visit has been provided by the English Department’s Visiting Writers Committee.
