Lecture: Therese Banks, "Traces of Crusade Throughout the Wars of Religion"
Therese Banks will deliver the first lecture in our Annual Department Lecture Series. Titled "Traces of the Crusade Throughout the Wars of Religion: Pierre de Ronsard's Discours des misères de ce temps (1562) and Agrippa d'Aubigné's Les Tragiques (1616)," the talk will take place in 207 DeBartolo Hall on Friday, October 28, at 4 pm.
Therese Banks is a Ph.D. Candidate in French in the Department of Romance Languages & Literatures at Harvard University. Her research broadly focuses on representations of religious violence in medieval and early modern French literature. Her dissertation, “(Hi)story-telling and Holy War: Narrating the Crusades from Medieval to Early Modern France,” investigates the relationship between the rhetoric of crusade and the formation of “France” as a body politic and as a nation-state.
