Join us this MONDAY, 3rd December at 6:00 for UCL's "Reevaluating the Literary Coterie" seminar. This week we're looking at coteries in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century.
Dr Gregory Dart is a senior lecturer at UCL. His research, both current and prospective, is centrally concerned with
Romanticism, the City, and the history and development of the essay form
from Montaigne to the modern period. His paper will look at the role of Charles Lamb and Crabb-Robinson on the 'cockney' formations he has examined in his new book Metropolitan Art and Literature 1810-1840: Cockney Adventures (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2012).
Will Bowers is a third-year doctoral candidate at UCL, writing a thesis on the subject of Anglo-Italian cultural relations in the British regency, entitled Paradise of Exiles - Radical Anglo-Italianism 1816-1824. His paper will look at one specific coterie which lasted from the French Revolution to the Victorian period, and is entitled:
'A curious moving scene of all nations and languages’ - Holland House as salon or coterie.
Join us in Foster Court 239 at UCL and for dinner afterwards.
Kind regards,
Hannah and Will
