The Phyllis Rackin Lecture Fund
After forty years of teaching at the University of Pennsylvania,
Professor Phyllis Rackin will be retiring at the end of the 2001-2 year.
The University of Pennsylvania is sponsoring a conference to honor her on
this occasion.
A former president of the Shakespeare Association of America, Professor Rackin has written such influential books as Stages of History: Shakespeare's English Chronicles and Engendering a Nation: A Feminist Account of Shakespeare's English Histories (with Jean Howard), and has published numerous important articles in journals such as PMLA and Shakespeare Quarterly. Over the years she has made a lasting impact on the lives of thousands of students, and her insightful scholarship, love of teaching, and personal warmth will be remembered for generations to come.
