The lecture will be about the beginnings of English fiction and Robert Greene's place in its history.

The lecture will be held on the 11th floor of Houston Cole Library beginning at 7:00 p.m.

Robert Greene was a 16th Century English writer and a contemporary of Shakespeare. Greene's books were read by Shakespeare. Greene's book Pandosto forms the base of Shakespeare's play "The Winter's Tale."
