Stephen Greenblatt, author of the bestselling Shakespeare biography Will of the World, discusses his forthcoming book on Adam and Eve. Greenblatt is a Harvard professor whose many influential books include The Swerve: How the World Became Modern, winner of the Pulitzer Prize. He gives the keynote talk of the Fictions of History conference. Greenblatt describes his lecture, Getting Real: The Rise and Fall of Adam and Eve: "The three great monotheisms, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, all trace the origin of humankind to a single identifiable male and female. Their story, probably dating from early in the first millennium BCE and told in the book of Genesis, is one of the most important imaginative inventions in recorded history." Presented on May 5, 2017, with the Critical Theory Certificate Program, the Writers’ Institute, and the Center for the Humanities.
