Professor to speak on LaFontaine
New information about a French poet-writer who "balled around" with Racine, Moliere, Boileau and Chapelle will be given in a Humanities Series lecture at 8 p.m. Tuesday in Swarthout Recital Hall.
John C. Lapp, executive head of French and Italian at Stanford University, will speak on "La Fontaine and the Esthetics of Negligence." Lecture-goers may meet him afterwards at an informal reception in Murphy Hall lounge.
The subject of the lecture, Jean de La Fontaine, was a Parisian living from 1621 to 1695. Subsidized by nobles, La Fontaine was a member of a coterie of famous French writers.
Many of La Fontaine's stories were based on tales by Boccaccio. His first book of "Contes" (stories) was published in 1664, and the first six books of his "Fables" appeared in 1668.
Lapp's visit
During Lapp's three-day visit to KU, he will speak to several French literature classes and coner with French faculty members and students.
He will have an "open conversation" with Jacques Scherer, KU's Rose Morgan visiting professor, in which French staff members and graduate students may join.
Lapp has just returned from France where he spent nine months on Fulbright and Geggenheim fellowships studying material on La Fontaine.
Born in Ottawa, Canada, Lapp received his Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1942 and has taught at Oberlin College, Bucknell University, and the University of Illinois. He was chairman of the French department at UCLA from 1956 to 1961.
