Cotterill to speak on Little Ice Age and its literature
Posted by Patrick Collins
Dr. Anne Cotterill, associate professor emerita in English and technical communication, will discuss the effect the Little Ice Age (1300-1800) had on literature at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 30, in Room 211 McNutt Hall.
As part of Sigma Tau Delta’s brown bag series, Cotterill’s talk will explore the emergence of cold as a powerful figure in literature through the lens of a world that was cooling down rather than heating up, an era when reports of ghostly white bears and brutally low temperatures stoked fears that the north was haunted by Satan.
