  • Poetics History February 2021
    Stanford Workshop in Poetics Faculty Chair: Marisa Galvez Graduate Coordinator: Lorenzo Bartolucci The Workshop in Poetics was founded in 2007 by Professors Roland Greene and Nicholas Jenkins and has met regularly ever since. Its core members are about twenty graduate students and several members of the Stanford faculty. Everyone is welcome. The workshop’s main purpose is to offer Ph.D. students a place to present their work in progress in a community of peers and faculty. Not bound by language or period, the group has discussed most of the literatures studied at Stanford. The workshop’s events follow several formats. The most common format is a discussion of work in progress by either a member of the group or a visiting speaker; for these events, the paper under discussion is circulated in advance. Some events concern the state of the field, identifying a topic or issue or a recent book for general discussion, often introduced by the author. A third category deals with neglected classics in poetics, usually books or articles that once were widely known and are still important but that are now seldom found in curricula or criticism. In the history below, each event is designated work in progress [WP], state of the field [SF], or lost classic [LC]. Student members find the workshop especially useful because it augments their coursework and dissertation writing with fresh perspectives and an attentive, often challenging community of interlocutors. Many advanced dissertations in the group have been discussed in two meetings, and in principle nearly every chapter by a member can find an occasion to be presented.
