Romanticists and members of BARS who plan to be in the vicinity of London in May should mark Thursday May 24 on their calendars, and join the John Thelwall Society at the unveiling of the first English Heritage "Blue Plaque" to Thelwall, at the site of his first Institution at 40 Bedford Place, Bloomsbury. The unveiling will be followed by a symposium with performances, "The People's Voice: A Legacy in Action," to be held at the site of Thelwall's second Institution at 57 Lincoln's Inn Fields. Formal invitation and schedule attached. Hope to see some of you there.
