The Waterloo Early Modern Studies Group is pleased to present a talk  
by Sarah Beckwith, Professor of English and Religion, and Chair of  
Theater Studies at Duke University:

"Confession and Acknowledgment in Shakespeare's Cymbeline."
Friday, Sept 25th at 3pm
HH 232


Sarah Beckwith works on late medieval and early modern religious  
writing. She is particularly interested in Middle English religious  
writing in its fully cultural dimensions and in the intersections of  
writing and religious practice. Her work includes two books, Christ's  
Body: Identity, Religion and Society in Medieval English Writing  
(1993) and Signifying God: Social Relation and Symbolic Act in York's  
Play of Corpus Christi (2001). She is currently working on a book on  
medieval and Renaissance drama centering on Shakespeare and the  
transformation of sacramental culture.

We look forward to seeing you there!
