Faculty Lecture Series: Hunting in the Age of Charlemagne by Prof. Goldberg02:35PM / Monday, February 23, 2009
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - Associate Professor of History Eric J. Goldberg will give the third lecture in the Williams College Annual Faculty Lecture Series on Thursday, February 26, at 4 p.m. in The Science Center's Wege Auditorium. His talk is titled "Hunting in the Age of Charlemagne (768-814)." The public is invited and the talk is free. A reception will follow the talk.
In the European empire of Charlemagne (768-814), hunting was not merely a source of food; it was a highly ceremonial courtly activity that shaped what it meant to be a nobleman. Goldberg's lecture, which is based on research for his current book, considers the roles the hunt played in the aristocratic culture, politics, and society of Charlemagne's empire.
Goldberg specializes in the history of Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages. His research focuses on kingship, politics, and elites in the Frankish and Anglo-Saxon worlds, and he wrote his first book on the reign of Charlemagne's grandson, Louis the German (840-876).
His interests also include the history of the Church, monasticism, historical writing, the Vikings, and the Byzantine empire.
He has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Counsel for Learned Societies, the Medieval Academy of America, and the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst.
At Williams, he teaches courses on the Vikings, Middle Ages, Fall of Rome, Christianization of Europe and the First Crusade, among others.
He received his B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1991 and his Ph.D. from the University of Virginia in 1998. |
