I am Professor of English Literature at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, BC. My research is in the intellectual history of the early-modern period (1500-1700), with a special interest in epistemic and moral issues of the Scientific Revolution. But don’t worry, here I talk about everything else.
On my title: Latin for “book” is liber pronounced with the vowel short, like in “fib”: “libber.” Latin for “free” is liber pronounced with the vowel long, like in “freak”: “leeber.” So, you see, it’s not just silly; it’s pretentious, too.
