The Trials of Orpheus: Book Launch & Discussion

In ancient Greek mythology, the lyrical songs of Orpheus charmed the gods, and compelled animals, rocks, and trees to obey his commands. This mythic power inspired Renaissance philosophers --they wanted to know: How do words produce action? In this video author Jenny Mann sheds light on the power of eloquence, its effects on English art and science, and her forthcoming release The Trials of Orpheus: Poetry, Science, and the Early Modern Sublime alongside an esteemed panel of scholars. Featuring Jenny C. Mann, Associate Professor of English, New York University Lynn Enterline, Professor of English, Vanderbilt University Suman Seth, Professor of Science & Technology Studies, Cornell University and moderator Roland Greene, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, Stanford University Video edited and captioned by Jennifer Lin
