Professor of English Eric G. Lorentzen
Professor of English Eric G. Lorentzen appeared on Virginia Humanities’ With Good Reason radio program in December discussing how holiday stories shape our experiences – from early classics like A Christmas Carol, The Nutcracker and The Gift of the Magi to new traditions like How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The With Good Reason radio program brings the research and insights of Virginia’s top educators to audiences across the nation. Along with Lorentzen, this episode featured Diane Griffiths (Christopher Newport University), Sarah Hillenbrand Varela and Erik Varela (Longwood University), Sian White (James Madison University), and Laura Kimball (Radford University) to peek under the surface of some of the most enduring Christmas tales.
