This event honors the centenary of The Great Gatsby with a lecture by Professor Douglas Mao, Russ Family Professor in the Humanities in the English Department of the Krieger School of Arts & Sciences, followed by a brief Q&A session.
F. Scott Fitzgerald's celebrated novel closes with a famous reflection on past and future. The talk will accordingly begin by considering pasts of the novel, including its debt to prior literary traditions and its rise to cultural prominence over the last one hundred years. It will then speculate on the fortunes of this enduring work in the years to come.
Our discussion is introduced and moderated by Nora Pehrson, a PhD candidate in the English Department at Johns Hopkins.
