Dr James Vigus (Queen Mary, University of London) gives a talk on Henry Crabb Robinson's Bildungsreise at the Senate House Library, University of London.
Thursday, 29 October 2015 from 18:00 to 19:00 (GMT)
This talk will retrace the first continental journey of Henry Crabb Robinson (1775-1867). As a religious dissenter, Robinson could not take a degree at Oxford or Cambridge, but as a student at the University of Jena he became the foremost mediator of the revolution in German philosophy and literature to Britain. Images of Robinson’s own surviving maps, together with his travel diary of 1801, will show how he travelled – both physically and intellectually – to the heart of the Romantic movement. I will suggest that Robinson’s philosophical thought was stimulated not just by the new friends he acquired in Frankfurt, Göttingen and other German towns, but also by the process of travelling on foot. Robinson’s manuscripts suggest visually how walking changed his inner life.
Admission is free but tickets are required and can be claimed at Eventbrite:
