Dr. Taylor Hagood 

Resplendent in its elaborate beauty, baroque art 
embodies an era of immense religious upheaval in 
Western culture—the Catholic Counter-Reformation. 
In this lecture, Taylor Hagood will explore the 
forces driving the development of baroque architectural style 
and the powerful images of Caravaggio, Velázquez, Rubens, 
Rembrandt, and other artists throughout Europe in the 
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
 
Taylor Hagood, Ph.D. lectures on literature, art, history, travel, 
music, and the history of magic. His publications include the C. 
Hugh Holman Award-winning Faulkner, Writer of Disability and 
Secrecy, Magic, and the One-Act Plays of Harlem Renaissance 
Women Writers. A former Fulbright Professor at Ludwig-
Maximilians-Universitaet in Munich, Germany, he is currently 
Professor of American Literature at Florida Atlantic University.
