Invitation to the British Academy Symposium:
Petrarch (1304-1374)
Translations, Interpretations And Appropriations Through The Ages
In association with the Society for Italian Studies, the Modern Humanities
Research Association, and the Society for Renaissance Studies
Time: 10.00
Date: Friday 26 and Saturday 27 November 2004
Venue: The British Academy, 10 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5AH
2004 marks the seven-hundredth anniversary of Petrarch's birth. It will be
celebrated by events in Italy and other countries where Petrarch has
enjoyed an influence from the Renaissance to the present. Not to be left
out, and to bring to the foreground the rich and complex relationship
between Petrarch and the United Kingdom, modern Petrarchists from the UK
and Ireland are planning a two-day symposium.
The symposium will take advantage of the anniversary to explore how
Petrarch has been appropriated and interpreted through the ages this side
of the channel. It will look at Petrarch from the perspectives of literary
history, iconography, epistolography, musicology, and gender issues; and
consider both Petrarch the humanist as well as Petrarch the poet.
Conference fees
The registration fee for the colloquium is GBP30.00, with a discounted
rate of GBP20 for students and the retired. The fee includes tea and
