Literature Profs Gift Lifts Library Toward Campaign Goal
Literature Profs Gift Lifts Library Toward Campaign Goal A longtime UT Dallas professor is donating a trove of scholarly books to the Eugene McDermott Library, starting with a five-volume reference work he describes as the “Italian equivalent of the Oxford English Dictionary.” Dr. Tim Redman presented the Vocabolario Treccani as the first in a series of gifts from his academic library, the majority of which he plans to give to McDermott Library over a period of several years. Dr. Redman continues to teach literature at UT Dallas. Since 1998, Redman has been a professor of literary studies at UT Dallas in the School of Arts and Humanities. He first came to UT Dallas in 1989 as an assistant professor of English. Besides being a scholar of American and Italian literature, Redman is the founder of the renowned UT Dallas Chess Program. He has more than 40 years’ experience in chess as a player, coach, tournament director and president of the U.S. Chess Federation.His work, Chess and Education: Selected Essays from the Koltanowski Conference, is considered a rigorous research book in the field. He is editing a second book, based on papers delivered at the Second Koltanowski Conference.
