Gary Tomlinson, Annenberg Professor in the Humanities at the University of Pennsylvania, will give a lecture titled “Montaigne's Cannibals' Songs” on Thursday, May 7, at 7:30 p.m. in the Nott Memorial.
Tomlinson comes to Union through the Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar Program.
Montaigne's “Of Cannibals,” perhaps the most famous of his essays, features with extraordinary prominence the singing of the Brazilian Tupi Indians.
