Here is the schedule:

Mills and Fernald are scholars in residence at the New York Public Library’s Wertheim Study. Gerwirtz is curator of the library’s Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Collection of English and American Literature.

All three lectures will be held in the South Court Auditorium of the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building at 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue.

The New York Public Library maintains two study centers in the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building: the Frederick Lewis Allen Room and the Wertheim Study. Both are for qualified scholars needing intensive and long-term use of the collections of the library.
