Stavros Niarchos Foundation Lecture: "'Not Text But Texture': C.P. Cavafy's Poems Unread, Unfinished, Unwritten"

The Annual Stavros Niarchos Foundation Lecture in Hellenic Studies was established in 2004 in honor of the Program’s sponsors. The Program was funded by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation as a pilot program from 2001 to 2007. In 2007 the Board of Directors of the Foundation endowed the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Center for Hellenic Studies at Yale University, which funds activities of the Hellenic Studies Program at the Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies, Yale University. The lecture series brings to the Yale campus distinguished scholars in the humanities and social sciences, public figures, and artists of international reputation.

Speaker: Alexander Nehamas, Edmund N. Carpenter II Professor in the Humanities, Princeton University
