[Englecturers] Van to Irvine for Lecture by Paul Strohm

[John Ganim]

Paul Strohm, probably the most influential figure in medieval English 
literary study, is speaking at UC Irvine on Monday February 6. His 
schedule is too tight to come out to Riverside, but he, and Elizabeth 
Allen, of Irvine, have graciously invited us to go there. I have 
rented a van to leave for UCI at the flagpole in the front of 
Hinderaker turnaround at 2:00 PM. So far, I have the following people 
signed up. Please let me know if you wish to join us:

John Ganim
Nadia Guth
Leona Fisher
Joanna Scott
Wallace Cleaves

Best,

JMG
