DR. KEITH CUSHMAN GIVES LECTURES
GREENSBORO--Dr. Keith Cushman, professor of English at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, gave two lectures at the University of Trieste at the end of February.
Cushman gave one lecture on D. H. Lawrence's poetry and the other focused on the theater of August Wilson. On March 17, he was the banquet speaker at the annual conference of the Philological Association of the Carolinas. His topic was "Forty Years with DHL."
A specialist in British and American fiction, Cushman was quoted extensively throughout Samantha Gillison's article, "Too close for comfort: Why is Raymond Carver's masterpiece, 'Cathedral,' so much like a little-known D.H. Lawrence story?" This article was the lead story in salon.com for January 18. An Italian version of this story appeared in Corriere della Sera in Rome on February 29.
Cushman is associate editor of the D.H. Lawrence Review and a past president of the D.H. Lawrence Society of North America. The society presented him with its Harry T. Moore Award for lifetime contributions to Lawrence studies. A UNCG faculty member since 1976, Cushman won the UNCG Research Excellence Award in 1991.
He is author of "D.H. Lawrence At Work" and was editor of Lawrence's "Memoir of Maurice Magnus." He is co-editor of three other books, "D.H. Lawrence's Literary Inheritors," "The Challenge of D.H. Lawrence" and "The Letters of D.H. Lawrence and Amy Lowell, 1914- 1925." He holds the doctorate from Princeton University.
