Re: 2007 Newberry Library Undergraduate Seminar: Constructing the
Queen: Elizabeth I in Political Pamphlets, Poetry, Personal Correspondence,
Portraiture, Plays, Pulp Fiction, and Motion Pictures
Application forms for the Newberry Library Undergraduate Seminar
are currently being accepted. This year's seminar, entitled "Constructing
the Queen," will examine the how Queen Elizabeth I was interpreted
from her own time until the present era.
Five qualified Loyola undergraduates will be selected to participate
in this six-credit, interdisciplinary seminar, which also includes
students from DePaul, Roosevelt and University of Illinois Chicago.
The seminar is highly prestigious; it allows a combination of intensive
classroom experience and independent research in the archives of the
Newberry Library, one of the country's richest archives of primary
sources for the study of English history. Students explore first-hand
the Newberry's unequalled collections of materials on English history,
iconography, politics, poetry, and popular literature. The six-credit
seminar will meet Tues./Thurs. 1-4 p.m. from 9 January 2007 to 3 May
2007.
The seminar is an excellent opportunity for students interested
in British history and culture and is open to qualified students in
all disciplines. Those interested in applying to graduate school or
professional schools, have found the Newberry Seminar an exhilarating
challenge, and an opportunity to work with students and faculty from
other universities at a very high level. You can find the course description
at the Newberry's website (www.newberry.org).
The application form can be downloaded at application form and further
information can be found at the Newberry Library Undergraduate Seminar.
