We would like to draw your attention to three upcoming lunchtime seminars organised by the TORCH Enlightenment Correspondences Network:

On Tuesday, 16 February (Fifth Week), Pierre Musitelli (ENS, Paris) will be speaking about ‘Enlightenment and conservatism in the correspondence of the Verri brothers’.

On Tuesday, 23 February (Sixth Week), Alexis Tadié (Oxford/Sorbonne) will be telling us about the letters of Laurence Sterne.

On Tuesday, 1 March (Seventh Week), Fiona Stafford (Oxford) will be discussing ‘“All my important nothings”: Jane Austen and her letters’.

Our seminars take place from 12.30 until 2 p.m. at Ertegun House (37A St Giles’) over a free sandwich lunch.  Please RSVP to [email protected] by the Tuesday of the week before the seminar(s) that you plan to attend: this will help us to get an accurate count for lunch.  Please also let us know of any special dietary requirements.

All most welcome!
