Perez Zagorin (May 20, 1920 – April 26, 2009) was an American historian who specialized in 16th- and 17th-century English and British history and political thought, early modern European history, and related areas in literature and philosophy. From 1965 to 1990, he taught at the University of Rochester, New York, retiring as the Joseph C. Wilson Professor of History Emeritus. ==Life and career== Zagorin was born in Chicago, Illinois, on May 29, 1920, to Solomon Novitz and Mildred Ginsburg Zagorin. He married the artist Honoré Desmond Sharrer on May 29, 1947. They had one son, Adam Zagorin, who currently works for Time Magazine and has two sons of his own.〔Obituary, Washington Post, http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/24/AR2009052402804.html〕 Zagorin's B.A. was from the University of Chicago; he earned both his M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1947 and 1952 respectively.〔Directory of American Scholars, 10th Ed., Vol 1, 559; see also ''Who's Who'', sv Perez Zagorin.〕 At Harvard, Zagorin was a student of Wilbur Kitchener Jordan, Charles McIlwain and others.〔Court, Country and Culture, viii.〕 He taught history at Amherst College (1947-1949), at Vassar College (1951-1953), and reached the rank of full Professor at McGill University, Montreal, while teaching there (1955-1965). The move to Canada resulted in part because of difficulties he encountered finding a tenure-track position in the U.S.A. because of his political beliefs, as McCarthyism threatened academic freedom.〔Oral history interview with Perez Zagorin, 2007 Jan. 17-18 | work=Archives of American Art | publisher=Smithsonian Institution | url=http://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/interviews/oral-history-interview-perez-zagorin-13600〕 He then returned to the U.S., teaching briefly at Johns Hopkins University, before joining the faculty at the University of Rochester, New York, in 1965, subsequently chairing the History Department (1967-1969). He then held the Joseph P. Wilson Professorship of History (1982) until his retirement in 1990. From 1992 until his death, Zagorin was a research Fellow of the Edgar F. Shannon Center for Advanced Studies at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville. He held fellowships at several other distinguished institutions, including the Folger Shakespeare Library, Guggenheim Fellowship, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and the Royal Historical Society of Great Britain.〔A brief recap of his career, including a partial list of academic awards, can be found in ''Court, Country and Culture'', xvi-xvii, which also includes a list of his publications to date, 249-ff.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Perez Zagorin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
