Last Thursday, April 15, the English Department's Scholarly Speakers Series sponsored a lecture by AMANDA WRIGLEY of the Northwestern University Department of Classics. Dr. Wrigley spoke about ancient Greece on BBC radio in the mid-twentieth century. She is currently guest-editing a special issue of COMPARATIVE DRAMA, titled "Translation, Performance, and Reception of Greek Drama, 1900-1960: International Dialogues," due out in Fall 2010. Comparative Drama was one of the co-sponsors of Dr. Wrigley's visit to WMU.
