John Bidwell and Derick Dreher explore the literary legacy of financier and collector J.P. Morgan, his formidable librarian Belle Da Costa Greene, and our own Dr. A. S. W. Rosenbach– who we’ve recently discovered were more connected than previously thought. Featuring slides and selected books from the Rosenbach collection, this conversation will focus on the authors (like Ariosto), printers (like Caxton) and private libraries (like the York Minster) that connected these giants of the rare book world.
