Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Gordon Wood will deliver the fourth annual Bosworth Lecture at Yale University on Thursday, November 1, at 4 p.m.
Wood, who is a professor of history at Brown University, will discuss the political philosophy of James Madison in a lecture titled “Is There a James Madison Problem?”
Wood’s book “The Radicalism of the American Revolution” won the Pulitzer Prize in 1991, and his earlier book “The Creation of the American Republic 1776-1787” was nominated for the National Book Award. Both books reshaped our understanding of the Revolutionary and Early National periods in American history. Wood was involved in the PBS production on Thomas Jefferson by Ken Burns, and he regularly devotes a portion of his time teaching history to high school students around the country.
The lecture, which will take place in Room 211, Hall of Graduate Studies, 320 York Street, is free and open to the public.
