And he also studies the longer history of the novel. And his research has focused on the relationship between aesthetics and politics in modernist and contemporary writing.
Professor Boxall teaches English at the University of Sussex. I'm so thrilled to have Peter Boxall with us to discuss The Prosthetic Imagination. So let me start by introducing our guests. After that Ian Duncan will speak and then Professor Ruttenburg, and then that should leave us about 45 minutes for conversation, first speakers among themselves, and then opening up to everyone who is gathered together with us today. And then Professor Boxall has prepared some remarks on Kazuo Ishiguro's "Klara and the Sun" to frame his argument in The Prosthetic Imagination. I'm going to get started because there's a lot to talk about here. We're hoping to be back in person, by winter quarter, if the optimistic vision for our future prevails. Well, then, I think we should get started, this is our first event of the season for 21/22 Books at the Center. Thank you for listening in on another of our warm and informal exchanges, as we scholars have a friendly chat among ourselves. We have the good fortune to showcase some really fantastic scholarship at the Center, which we're thrilled now to be sharing with you.
This episode is edited from the live recording of our virtual Books at the Center event on Friday, October 29 2021. To give responses to Peter's book, we are further joined by Ian Duncan, the Florence Green Bigsby Chair in English at the University of California Berkeley, and Nancy Ruttenburg, the William Robertson Coe Professor of American Literature at Stanford University. This episode, our host, Margaret Cohen is joined by Peter Boxall, professor of English at the University of Sussex, to celebrate his book The Prosthetic Imagination: a History of the Novel as Artificial Life, which was published with Cambridge University Press in 2020. Welcome, and thanks for joining us for our third season of Cafe, the Center for the Study of the Novel podcast.
