For this inaugural seminar, we are delighted to welcome Christoph Bode (Ludwig Maximilian University, Munich), who will speak on the topic: ‘De L’Allemagne with Love: English Bards and European Theorists’ Venue: Bloomsbury Room (G35), ground floor, Senate House. Time: 5.30 – 8.00 The seminar will be followed by a wine reception, with special guest Marc Porée, Paris Director of the London-Paris Romanticism Seminar. EVERYONE IS WELCOME, INCLUDING POSTGRADUATES AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC. ADMISSION IS FREE. The London-Paris Romanticism Seminar is an international research forum devoted to British Romantic literature, its European connections, and the broader culture of the Romantic period, 1760-1830. The forum consists of monthly seminars in London with leading Romanticists from the UK, Europe, and beyond, and an annual symposium in Paris. Details of the 2016-17 programme are below. The forum is a collaboration between Queen Mary University of London, four other colleges of the University of London (Birkbeck, Goldsmiths, King’s and UCL), and number of French institutions including the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, the Université Paris-Sorbonne, and the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle. The London seminars are organised by a steering group of Romanticists from the London area and jointly hosted by the Institute of English Studies and the Institute of Modern Languages Research. The Paris symposium is organised with the assistance of the Société d’Études du Romantisme Anglais (SERA).
