Organized by the English Department at the University of Pennsylvania and the Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts.

Please join us for a conference in celebration of the career of Peter Stallybrass, Annenberg Professor in the Humanities, Professor of English, and Director of the Workshop in the History of Material Texts at the University of Pennsylvania. We will gather to honor Peter's immense contributions to scholarship and to all of our intellectual lives by exchanging new ideas, fostering new collaborations, and, in keeping with Peter's style, eating and drinking together. Featuring a keynote address from Margreta de Grazia, "The Rise and Fall of Shakespeare's Chronology," as well as panels on 'Manuscript and Print', 'Shakespeare and Early Modern Theater', 'Reading, Commonplacing, Noting', ' Sheets, Pamphlets, Books', Undergraduate exhibits and talks, featuring the work of the Penn Manuscript Collective, and demonstrations and hands-on printing from The Common Press.
