On behalf of the Center for Medieval & Renaissance Studies and the Department of Spanish & Portuguese at The Ohio State University, I am delighted to announce a symposium titled “La Senda Difícil: Quest and Meaning in Cervantes’ Poetics at the Quadricentenary” that will honor the 400th anniversary of the death of Miguel de Cervantes. On September 30 and October 1, 2016, five leading Cervantes scholars will discuss and share recent research relating to Cervantes’ work and legacy. They are Isabel Torres, Queen’s University, Belfast; Frederick A. De Armas, University of Chicago; Maria Antonia Garcés, Cornell University; Javier Irigoyen-García, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; and Steven Wagschal, Indiana University in Bloomington. Our symposium has been chosen as one of six events in the US to figure in the official program of the IV CENTENARIO DE LA MUERTE DE CERVANTES. This is a public event. We look forward to welcoming colleagues from OSU, from across the Midwest and beyond at the end of September!
