Book Use, Book Value: the Paradoxes of Renaissance Herbals

Lecture/Readings | Tanner Talks

Renaissance herbals- sixteenth and seventeenth century printed guides to plants, herbs, and trees, sometimes beautifully illustrated- may be the most popular early modern book you've never heard of. This talk will explore how the Renaissance herbals in USU's Special Collections, and other best-sellers in their time, are often least likely to survive, making them paradoxically obscure by virtue of their ordinariness.

Moyle Q. Rice Lecture Series on Writing

Lecture/Readings

Moyle Q. Rice was a professor of English here at USU for 45 years, retiring in 1982. He was beloved by students and faculty, many of whom have donated to support this lecture series and celebrate the memory of his teaching and dedication to students. Among other courses, Professor Rice taught composition, and so the Moyle Q. Rice Lecture Series celebrates the importance of writing in society. It is highly fitting that for our first speaker we welcome back Dr. Rachel Bryson, a graduate of our PhD program in Technical Communication and Rhetoric—and a dedicated teacher of composition. Dr. Bryson’s talk, “Why We Write: Collaboration, Community, and Transformation,” will be held on Friday, April 18 from 1:30-2:30 in the Mehdi Heravi Center, room 201 (the Carolyn Tanner Irish Pavilion) and on Zoom. Light refreshments will be served. https://usu-edu.zoom.us/my/buyserie Zoom ID: 582 092 5984 Passcode: 352436
