DESCRIPTION:Do you read enviously? Dr. Rebecca Olson shares her in-progress
  investigation of the prevalence of envy in prefaces to literature printed
  in 16th century England. She finds that these texts’ manipulation of Cl
 assical envy—including the envious Evil Eye—was implicated in the peri
 od’s larger fantasy of political commonwealth and also set the stage for
  modernity’s ongoing failure to acknowledge the social repercussions of 
 “private” acts of reading.\n\nRebecca Olson is an Associate Professor 
 in the School of Writing\, Literature\, and Film. She is the author of Arr
 as Hanging: The Textile That Determined Early Modern Literature and Drama\
 , as well as articles on Shakespeare\, early modern textiles\, and the tea
 ching of early British literature. Her work has been published or is forth
 coming in journals including PMLA\, Word & Image\, and Modern Philology\, 
 and she recently oversaw the production of a student-edited\, free\, onlin
 e textbook edition of Romeo and Juliet. Her ongoing research interest is t
 he relationship between literature and the imagination: the ways literary 
 texts encourage readers and playgoers to engage the “mind’s eye” and
  to think about each other.\n\nThis is a virtual event\, and you'll receiv
 e instructions on how to join after you register.
