The title of the talk is “A Convert’s History: Paul of Burgos (ca. 1351-1435) Writes the Events of His Life” on March 9 at 7 p.m. at Hillel.Kruger is professor of English and Medieval Studies at Queens College and The Graduate Center of the City University of New York. The talk will consider the ways in which one prominent Iberian convert to Christianity, Paul of Burgos, represents the history of Jewish-Christian relations in Spain during the period before and immediately after his own conversion. One concern of the talk will be to think through how personal experience shapes Paul's historical sense, at the same time that we can see broader, ideological forces at work in leading Paul to the formulations he presents in his writing. In other words, we might think of Paul's writing about the Jewish and Christian communities to which he has belonged as a particular demonstration of how the personal is political, and the political personal.
