Author: James Grantham Turner
James Grantham Turner is James D. Hart Professor in the Department of English at the University of California, Berkeley. A scholar of unusual range who brings together literature, art, the environment, cultural and intellectual history, and gender and sexuality, he is the author of eight books, including the Politics of Landscape and Eros Visible, the latter cited for its 'extraordinary vitality' and as a 'most important' contribution to Renaissance Studies. Turner has won fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, the National Gallery of Art, Washington, and the National Endowment for the Humanities, among others.
