I recently saw the news that #EarlyModernStudies scholar Jonathan Goldberg passed away. RIP.

I was lucky enough to take a class with him on colonialism in early modern texts at Duke in the late 1990s. Great class!

I still remember how expertly he tore apart my paper on V.S. Naipaul and Walter Raleigh, noting everything Naipaul was getting wrong about colonial Caribbean history. He helped me see that Naipaul would likely be a waste of my time...

JG's most recent book just came out this fall.
