We are pleased to announce, after a successful start last week, the second seminar of the series - to take place on Wednesday the 31st of October.
Felicity
Roberts is a doctoral candidate at King's College London, writing a
thesis on Hans Sloane. Her paper is entitled:
Mary
Delany (1700-1788) and her membership of the Bluestockings
Dr
Christine Gerrard, a fellow at Lady Margaret Hall, University of
Oxford, has published widely on the eighteenth century coterie around
Aaron Hill, and is also interested in the circle
surrounding Princess Caroline of Anspach (later Queen Caroline) in
the late 1710s. Her paper is entitled:
A Scorpion in the Nest: Sexual Politics and the Hillarian Coterie, 1720-1725.
After
the papers there will be half an hour for questions and conversation,
at which wine will be provided. This seminar will begin at 18:00, in
Room 119 of the Roberts Buliding UCL, this is the same building as
last week, but further up the corridor. Attendees should come to the
Malet Place entrance of UCL (opposite Waterstones) and enter the
first building through the gates on the left. They will reach a
security barrier, where they should say that they are attending the
seminar, and will be directed to the correct room. If anyone gets
lost, or can't find us, give me a call on 07971 887952 and I'll find
you.
Any
questions should be directed to reevaluatingcoteries@gmail.com,
and we look forward to seeing you there.
Best
wishes,
Will
