Harry Camp Memorial Lecturer

Anthony Grafton, one of the leading historians in North America, gave a week-long lecture series that included two standing-room only lectures, "The First Theorists of History" and "The Life and Death of a Genre." His accompanying seminars examined the methodological debates that have engrossed historians over the last fifty years, and discussed the rise and fall of universal chronology in the seventeenth century.


All events take place at Stanford University, unless otherwise noted.
