The Center for British & Irish Studies welcomes Professor Adam N. McKeown, speaking on  "The Wall in the North (of England) or Shakespeare and 'the office of wall.'"  This event is free and open to the public.

McKeown is the author of Fortifications and its discontents from Shakespeare to Milton: trouble in the walled city (Routledge, 2019) and English Mercuries: soldier poets in the age of Shakespeare (Vanderbilt, 2009). As with his first book, McKeown's understanding of fortifications and poetry was influenced by his own military service in the wake of 9/11.
