Author Robert Markley's EIU lecture rescheduled for Doudna Fine Arts Center



CHARLESTON — The Eastern Illinois University English Department has announced that noted author Robert Markley’s lecture has been rescheduled for 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Markley will present the lecture “Nature, Landscape and Climate: Cold and Heat in Jane Austen’s ‘Mansfield Park.’”

The lecture will be held in the Doudna Fine Arts Center Lecture Hall. Admission is free and the public is invited.

Markley is interested in the relations between literature, science and science fiction. He is the author of “Dying Planet: Mars in Science and the Imagination” (2005) and “The Far East and the English Imagination, 1600-1730” (2005).

Markley is the Romano professorial scholar with the Department of English at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. He has degrees from Vassar College and the University of Pennsylvania.

Sponsored by EIU’s Department of English and College of Arts & Humanities, Markley is the 2009 guest speaker for the Susan Bazargan Lecture Series. The series is named in honor of professor emeritus Susan Bazargan, who taught at Eastern for many years.
