What makes a library a library? What is its soul? Using the case of George Herbert, the English Renaissance poet with an especially famous presence in UNCG Special Collections, we will consider the major role played by SCUA in Dr. Hodgkins' new three-volume George Herbert: Complete Works coming from Oxford University Press; we’ll also consider what makes libraries unique on college and university campuses, and the place of printed books in our future life of learning, university research, and the preservation of human knowledge and culture. Explore these questions with Dr. Christopher Hodgkins, Professor of Renaissance Literature (UNCG) and Atlantic World Studies Director (Atlantic World Research Network).
