Deathbed Reading and Sacred Synecdoche in the Passion Complaint, "Wyth scharpe thornes"

The Christian Scholarship Workshop is an opportunity for graduate students and early-career scholars from across the disciplines to present research in progress, share feedback, and think together about how to approach academic work from a Christian perspective. Our first meeting this semester will feature Joanna Murdoch, a sixth-year graduate student in the English department, presenting work from her dissertation on the high-stakes reading practices surrounding devotional poems in fifteenth-century manuscripts. Contact kathryn.wagner@duke.edu to receive a precirculated draft, but feel free to come listen and discuss even if you don't have time to read ahead.
