Dr. Megan Quigley

Dr. Megan Quigley delivered the annual East Coker lecture on July 14th at the T. S. Eliot summer school in the UK entitled, "Why East Coker is Still Shocking."  This lecture, part of a new project on Eliot and his influence on twentieth-century fiction, stems from archival work completed on two recent fellowships: at the Huntington Library in Pasadena, CA and at the Harry Ransom Center in Austin, TX.  Dr. Quigley also organized a panel, "'That is not what I meant at all': Literary--Philosophical Correspondents,"for the annual Modernist Studies Association Conference, which took place at the University of Sussex.  Dr. Quigley's paper for that panel, delivered on September 1st, was called "Rebabelization & Nonsense: Finnegans Wake in Basic English."
