For more than fifty years, Memorial University’s E. J. Pratt Lecture Series has invited eminent critics and artists to St. John’s, Newfoundland, to speak on the topics that lie at the heart of their work.

This special edition, published to coincide with Memorial’s 100th anniversary, gathers a selection of the Lectures, beginning with the one that inaugurated the series in 1968, Northrop Frye’s “Silence in the Sea" and culminating with Madeleine Thien’s 2025 Lecture.
