Vortragende Person/Vortragende Personen:
Prof. Dr. Tony Magistrale

There are over 700 illustrators of Edgar Allan Poe’s work that come from painters and artists from around the world. Based on his recently published book, The Great Illustrators of Edgar Allan Poe, Professor Magistrale’s lecture focuses on the early artists—starting with Manet and the French symbolists—and continues to trace the evolution of Poe illustration into modernism. The lecture features well-known art and artists as well as illustration that will, like Poe himself, create a highly visual feast. Tony Magistrale is Professor of English at the University of Vermont, USA. The lecture will take place on Thursday, July 4, in room H 303 from 5.00 pm - 6.30 pm.
