October 3rd - The eighteenth century

I'm pleased to announce that the titles have now been submitted for the first seminar of the series.

Felicity Roberts is a doctoral candidate at King's College London, writing a thesis on Hans Sloane. Her paper is entitled:

Mary Delany (1700-1788) and her membership of the Bluestockings
 
Dr Christine Gerrard, a fellow at Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford, has published widely on the eighteenth century coterie around Aaron Hill, and is also interested in the circle surrounding Princess Caroline of Anspach (later Queen Caroline) in the late 1710s. Her paper is entitled:

A Scorpion in the Nest: Sexual Politics and the Hillarian Coterie, 1720-1725.

After the papers there will be half an hour for questions and conversation, at which refreshments will be provided. This seminar will begin at 18:00, in Room 130 of Foster court, UCL, (http://goo.gl/maps/7zOZd), but will move in subsequent weeks.  

Any questions should be directed to reevaluatingcoteries@gmail.com, and we look forward to seeing you there. 

Best wishes,

Will Bowers
