Will’n in Weslaco would like to thank the South Texas College Library for once again hosting our Public Lecture. 

We are honored to announce this year’s speaker will be Professor Jan Blits.

Dr. Blits is professor emeritus at the University of Delaware, where he taught in the Honors Program for forty years. He is the author of 14 books on Shakespeare, political history, and political philosophy. His most recent book is his annotated edition of A Midsummer Night's Dream. 

Dr. Blits has won the University of Delaware Excellence in Teaching Award and the Jeane J. Kirkpatrick Academic Freedom Award for defending student and faculty rights. He has served as the Secretary of the Navy Distinguished Fellow at the U.S. Naval Academy and has lectured on freedom to former Soviet-bloc military officers at the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies in Garmisch Partenkirchen, Germany. 

Besides A Midsummer Night's Dream, his editions of Shakespeare include Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, Coriolanus, Macbeth, and (soon to be released) Hamlet.
